My problem with single screen web pages is that they hardly ever fit on
one screen. I have a 14 inch monitor with 640 X 480 resolutiuon and most
pages on the web won't fit that. (I had the same experience with a 15") I
end up having to scroll anyway. Maybe my equipment is prehistoric, but I'd
prefer just to scroll rather than scroll and jump. Just keep in mind that
your audience will not always be viewing an on-line document with the same
type of monitor that you have. Some people have tiny 14" monitors, some
people have large 21" monitors. (I think Gateway sells a 27")
