Hi Barry,

As a DeafBlind user, I would prefer the fixed size layout. With the fluid
design sometimes the content itself get the be too wide for easy reading
when viewing with a wide screen monitor. I think the ideal width would be
1000px for most cases. For the number of columns, I prefer three as the max
number of column providing some reasonable "white" spacing between the
columns to help locate the start and ending of each line of the content.

I think this would address the usability issues of the website for most
people as well as people with vision issues. Hope this help.

Randy
