Default Resolutions

Tell me something. What screen resolution do you guys use? I recently bumped mine up to 1280x1024, and it took getting used to, but now I like it better. What I'd like is to get a sense of what most people viewing this site use. (This'll help me judge what I can and can't do on, for example, the front page.)

I use 1024x768, but that's mostly because my Dad also uses this computer and is can't see anything smaller...

I have absolutely no idea, but I recently increased it.

Hope that helped.

You know you can check these things, right? Your screen resolution doesn't just fade away, never to be remembered again. You're thinking of New Year's resolutions.

1280x1024.
I know, because it's getting damn annoying trying to resize 1024x768 wallpapers for this thing.

1024x768 -- I do most everything on my 12" iBook, which I take with me everywhere. My home and work PCs are set higher, but often when I'm here I'm on the iBook.
