Following an old recommendation, I checked out http://www.groninger-museum.nl/, only to find that, “The Groninger Museum website has been created for a minimum monitor resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels. Your screen resolution is less than required.”
So much for laptop users. It does explain how to change the screen resolution for Windows machines, but the warnings about saving all your documents and re-booting machines are probably enough to frighten the kinds of users who need those instructions. This warning is the final touch:
“NB. The Groninger Museum cannot be held responsible for any damage of any nature whatsoever that may result from adjusting your screen resolution.”
I tried to have a look at the ‘Limited Version’ but it detected iCab as IE4 and I got a small pop-up window and no content anywhere. It’s all a pretty good example of what not to do.
