On that score, Doug, I have no rebuttal. I myself am doing an app for the
provincial government currently, and they insist on 800 resolution. When was
the last time anyone you know used that resolution? Wow. So while I'm
writing it, I put my 22" flat screen monitor into that resolution LOL. I can
get really drunk and sit on the other side of the room and still read it
clearly! O well. Your tax dollars at work. They also have another funny
policy which is that I am only allowed to work 7.5 hours a day. Well, that's
just not in my nature. So I said, I typically work more, I don't want
overtime, but can't I bill 12 hours a day and do the thing faster? No.
7.5hours a day max. So then I work my own hours (this is a remote job), and
then slice the time sheet accordingly, so in this virtual universe it's
technically April 2, not March 20. Go figure.

And there isn't a chance in hell they'd go for the nav panel. That would be
way too radical. Besides, at 800 resolution there wouldn't be much room for
anything else on the screen at the same time.
