...just to clear this up.  The problem with checking a user's screen 
resolution wasn't that it gave you the size of the browser window, the 
problem is that it _does_ give you their real resolution and _not_ the 
size of the browser window.  So, if you go ahead and make a webpage that 
assumes that the user has atleast a resolution of 1024x768 (maybe a 
little high, but this is just an example), and the user doesn't have 
their browser window maximized, then your site won't look right to 
them.  Well, I guess the worst thing is that they'll have to scroll 
sideways.  I have a screen resolution of 1280x1024 at home, however, I 
_never_ maximize my browser window.  I just don't need that much room 
and I'd rather be able to see the other windows on my desktop like 
'gaim' or 'xmms'.  So, there really is no need to need to know the 
user's screen resolution besides just curiousity, because it can't be 
used reliably.
