800 + 200 for the column on the left, plus another 200 for the column on the right = 1200. That's pretty wide. I've got a 1680 wide monitor, but I've got 6 applications open, three or four windows at a time including the three browsers I use...plus all the tabs. 1200 is pretty wide for anyone who doesn't view web pages full screen. Not to mention the load times...

If only I could devote myself to bike forums full time!
