[Sigia-l] functional screen resolution

[Michael Albers]

I never maximize my windows with my monitors (I use dual monitors) set at 1024.

I have seen some interesting responses from students working on web design 
projects. (small projects part of a larger writing course).  They all work 
with maximized windows designing their web pages.  I point out I never 
maximize my windows and will be grading their project with a non-maximized 
window.  I actually saw one student reduce the window, look at the poor 
text breaks, say "yech, that looks terrible," maximize the window, and kept 
working.
