8. In big monitors, I like that better than 1024x768
Preserves the 1x1 pixel geometry.

11. That's why Apple does it.
Makes DTP WYSIWYG much easier.

13. I've seen PC video adapters that do that too.
In a previous job. I think it was Nvidia. Not quite sure.

17. Yes.
My Nvida on my PC will do that. (But my ancient monitor which refuses to die will not.)

12. do you find that you do a lot of scrolling?
does it bother you that most sites are designed for higher resolutions?
