This is just silly. They make sites with a static width because they just don't care. =20 Any respectable Web site design authority will strongly recommend page width that adjusts to the browser window. Think about it: what is more accomodating to your visitors who have different browser configurations--static or variable? Human factors (user friendly interfaces), are mostly ignored on the vast majority of Web sites.
