Inside a corporate firewall you are not likely to encounter such a problem as visitors to your site using different browsers. This recently hit home when using a family members computer and a site I created looked terrible due to the presets of their browser. Hey pops close a few options on your IE!!!

Aptly Stated in Designing for the Web by Joshua David McClurg-Genevese

So, how much space does a browser take up? It is depends on the browser and its default settings. The best way to approximate this is to set a monitor at the appropriate screen size, expand the browser, and take a screen grab.

The Revolution Will Not Be Televized
by Gil Scott-Heron, 1972

You will not be able to stay home, brother.

You will not be able to plug in, turn on and cop out.

You will not be able to lose yourself on skag and skip,

Skip out for beer during commercials,

Because the revolution will not be televised.

The revolution will not be televised.

The revolution will not be brought to you by Xerox

In 4 parts without commercial interruptions.

The revolution will not show you pictures of Nixon

blowing a bugle and leading a charge by John

Mitchell, General Abrams and Spiro Agnew to eat

hog maws confiscated from a Harlem sanctuary.

The revolution will not be televised.

The revolution will not be brought to you by the

Schaefer Award Theatre and will not star Natalie

Woods and Steve McQueen or Bullwinkle and Julia.

The revolution will not give your mouth sex appeal.

The revolution will not get rid of the nubs.

The revolution will not make you look five pounds

thinner, because the revolution will not be televised, Brother.

There will be no pictures of you and Willie May

pushing that shopping cart down the block on the dead run,

or trying to slide that color television into a stolen ambulance.

NBC will not be able predict the winner at 8:32

or report from 29 districts.

The revolution will not be televised.

There will be no pictures of pigs shooting down

brothers in the instant replay.

There will be no pictures of pigs shooting down

brothers in the instant replay.
