I thank you from the bottom of my heart!
(Viewing on WinXP, ViewSonic LCD monitor, resolution 1280x1024, font dpi set at 120, 32bit color display with a RADEON graphics card--on broadband from cable. Browser, Opera, view set at 120%.)

I'm usually viewing this with a 17 inch Apple MacBook Pro, fully spec'ed, 1680x1050 pixel screen, I think. Occasionally I view from an older Mac with a dual processor tower and a 30 inch Cinema Display... not sure of any of the specs on that one, and also occasionally from a Mac 12 inch aluminum G4 Powerbook... not sure of any of the specs on that one, either. Though Firefox is my preferred browser, I usually view OPF with Safari, since it automatically honors color profiles in people's pictures.

The nice thing about Safari is that it cares about ICC (ICM) profiles.
.. which, unfortunately, also means that only ~20% (or less - lot of mac users use FF), or one fifth, of the OPF visitors can possibly enjoy the ICC-embedded images.
The whole Web is tuned for sRGB, whether we want it or not.
Just my 2 cents for what it's worth...

Some of these values are meaningless from the web stats I monitor.

1600x1200 - 12,32%

I run 1600x1200x2 and could not imagine going back to one display. Not even the 28" widescreen I had in grad school. Though I would love 1200x1600x2 which will happen when I go to dual LCDs. Although the interim may contain a 1600x1200 x 1200x1600 point.

Dialup - 7,72%

My WiFi router to DSL modem reads as Dialup on google's tracking stats so you should ignore that field as it does not correlate with reality.

I did find the higher resolutions normal for photo people. Same with the higher number of Safari and OS-X users. The disproportionate number of Firefox users probably also reflects on the user base in a positive fashion.

Some advertising driven stats for the last 3 months yield:

Anyway, even these alternate tracking script stats fail to show dual displays too. But the cut and paste from the web to this site rocks as I have no idea how make alternating tables in edior beyond straight HTML yet it pastes right in.

enjoy,

Its interesting to see Firefox so high, a couple of years ago it would have been less that 20%.

How's OPF for W3C XHTML transitional compliance then?

I've spent many hours getting my site's main page accredited, browsers are RPIA when in comes to interoperability.
