Would that be a lower tech audience? <g>

Totally depends on what the site is used for.

1: Use flexible design if you are concerned that every one in the world
can see it no matter the size of the browser.

2: 800px wide is always a safe bet for everyone but the people in this
forum, but they are not typical. (If they were typical they would all
be using IE as their primary browser.)

People here will give you all the exceptions in the world telling you
how they only access the web from their phone, and would rather leave a
site rather than resize their browser. And they are right. A fixed
size _may_ cause you to lose a customer. But it totally depends on the
site and what it is trying to accomplish

YMMV

But with fluid design you lose the "layout" To some that is important.

800px wide is a safe bet if you want to preserve the look and feel of
the site.

Both of the above and others. Though only during the styling and testing
stages.

My bicycle can out accelerate either of your cars...over the first couple
of metres.

Well I dunno about Matt's car, but I bet your bicycle can do a 1/4 mile
faster than my truck. Its painfully slow, made more painful by the fact that
I've had more than my fair share of cars with sub- 13 second 1/4 mile times.
Now I'm lucky to get to 30mph in that time with this monster. But, if you
ever need a house pulled off its foundation, I'm your man.
