Sorry to disagree about functionality of fixed width sites. If you reduce the
browser's to a size smaller than the width of the site, you have to scroll all the way
through the text. If I work on my Netbook I hate sites that do not reformat the text for a
smaller screen and I have to scroll back and for to read through the text.
I could see the benefit for wide screens though. I do not know if there is a possibility
to say "not bigger than max width" but reformat if screen is smaller. Might be a
compromize.
Just my 2 cent
