Yes, I think so. AFAIK it will only be too large for users with a 640 x 480 
resolution.
I remember reading in a Web guide that the "safe" page width for any 
resolution (on PCs I mean) is 535 pixels.
A solution is to use a layout that looks OK with the minimal width and that 
can resize itself gracefully when displayed in a higher resolution (eg. 
using tables with not hard-coded width).
Maybe we should stick with 600 to keep it simple.

Sounds good.

I just send over by private email a couple of images I had.
