But most Web clients run in a window, and therefore will be less than
a full screen wide. Possibly much less.
I hate a lot of stupid Web tricks, but among the recipients of my
hatred are title images that are wider than my window. And title
images which take more than one second to load, when really I want to
read the *text* on the page.
Just make a nice icon and get on with the writing.
