Fixed width designs are popular with graphic artists because they can
force everything to look exactly the way they want it.  On their
monitor.  With their browser.  For those of us that don't use exactly
the same display resolution or browser (and fonts), the result is
usually disappointing at best.  The new site looks like #$^% and is
very difficult to use, for example, on a PDA with Pocket Internet
Explorer.
