   I handle the diferent aspec ratios is several ways.   
      
   One is to make the 4:3 ratio the width of my wide screen and then scroll   
   thrugh it like you do with some large pages on a 4:3 screen.  This gives   
   me larger characters which makes them easier to read.   
      
   Another is to place the webpage in a 4:3 window on one edge of the wide   
   screen and place what ever else I am working on the other edge. It may   
   be a spreadsheet, a list, or another webpage.   
      
   Some time I just ignore it.   
      
   I have heard that some people place all of the desktop icons on the left   
   and then create a 4:3 browser window on the right, so all of thier icons   
   area easily available with out moving the browser window.
