hmm...  i use 1280x1024 here and love it...  i couldn't go back to 1024x768 
or (heaven forbid) 800x600 if i wanted to! : ^ )  i've just got my Dell E771p 
17" monitor, but the size of the fonts (and everything else) is perfect for 
me...

yah, i ran XP Home on this system for a while because it came with it 
installed...  within a few days, i got incredibly frustrated with it and blew 
it away...  i still need to reinstall some form of windows sometimes (gotta 
have my W.O.R.M.S. Armegeddon!), but for now, i'm happy as could be! (esp 
since I finally got around to trying out the CrossOver plugin!)...  
fortunately (or unfortunately, depending on how you look at it), all the 
machines in the lab @ school are windows, so I can do my web site testing on 
them...  i'm very picky (read: anal) about my sites looking the same in as 
many browsers as possible...  i think my current site works properly in most 
every browser that's not based on mozilla (mozilla does some funky rendering 
on some tables for some reason...  it's all W3C-compliant, so i don't 
know...)...

up until KDE-2.1 came out, i really detested it, due to it's windows-ness, 
but now I'm really starting to like it...  it's nice having a desktop where 
things work together, rather than against eachother...  but then again, on my 
old P200/64MB RAM machine, KDE could get cumbersome at times...
