It is very common to have users who will see scrollbars with fixed  
1024 width designs. Including me on the 12" iBook. One reason I  
normally hate fixed width designs with a passion is because I get  
scrollbars, most designs seem to be fixed for 1024 pixel screens.

Here's an example of a fixed width design that was fixed at a width  
too big for my screen:

I can't stand it. Tom made a wise choice. And please don't add  
columns to make it wider.
