Ditch this section-- "This site has been designed to be viewed on screens offering a resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels or better.

On the odd occasion this has been at the expense of putting in unnecessary spaces in preformatted, <pre>...</pre>, text in order to ensure that it wraps." Nobody wants to read why the page might not look wonderful for them.
