hutch...
You said they are usually older folks... afraid of change.
Consider the people who live with these people who might view the site and have to deal with the fact that the owner of the computer is afraid of change. If a family has 1 computer and it is old. Then what are you going to do. Not everyone within the market you are talking about (assuming 16-30) lives on their own and owns a newer computer. Sucks, but I say work with 800 x 600.
Then again, making the user happy over the client might mean you will lose the client in the future although I doubt it. If they really want you to go larger, just go larger. What can you do. That is what you are paid for right? To do what the client says.
just make sure it looks right.
You should sell them the concept of 2 versions. Charge them more for the second version and then use a browser detect. If they really want to go large, they will do it. Sell it as a test to see how many people that viewed their site are on higher spec machines.
Then you can pay me my fees for giving you this idea....
have fun. make us proud!!
now get back to work
