Pixel sizes for web pages

We did a redesign of our OPAC page recently (http://catalog.cwru.edu/), and
one of the concers was to move to an interface of mostly text.  Not only
does this display on any screen size, but users can choose to set their
font size to what is comfortable for them and the page will flow correctly.

Plus, since it is light on graphics, it loads very fast over dialup
connections.  Nothing is more annoying than to wait for a 100KB of images
to download over a dialup connection.
