No, you can correlate the data from the two reports and it's valid. >> By also getting the browser widths, I can figure out that if 90% of the >> visitors have 800px or wider monitors and nearly 40% have their browsers set >> to 700px or less, a whole bunch of visitors "set their windows based on their >> wants rather than on available space". > > But can you say that with these numbers? Yes, absolutely, positively. > The browser width report has only 50% of the data points of the screen res > report.

You seem to have accidentally gotten the wrong numbers. I didn't keep the March stats but I just downloaded their current stats and in the last day-and-a-bit (they reset the counters at the end of every month), they've got resolution data for 3,807 visitors (missed 32) and width data for 3,717 visitors. That works out to about 98%, not 50%. > If the latter then I think your statement makes perfect sense. But I'll > stand by position that "their wants" are no horizontal scroll bar.
