This was true back in 1997 or 1998 maybe. But today, the web is moving out to new types of devices you aren't considering. Phones, tablets, PDA's, game handhelds.
If you willingly limit yourself to all 800x600 desktop monitors, that's fine. Just know that there is growing activity from other smaller devices. You may never need to know if your site works on a Treo. But if your site was as popular as you want it to be, don't you think it would be wise to have an answer?

I've stopped designing for 640x480 about two years ago. While designs can in most cases be made to stretch, things start looking weird at 1024x768 plus. You are either stuck with looooong lines of text, or a darn narrow strip of content.
My sites still are all designed for 800x600. One client specifically asked to be bumped up to the next res to get more space, but 800x600 is my default. When it gets to single digit percentages for usage, I'll move on to 1024x768...

I think designing for PDAs and such has to be generally done separatelly. With the current lack of standards from IE, it is hard enough to make things look proper under a couple of regular browsers. Throw yourself a couple of PDAs into the mix, and you've got a nightmare on elm street. Much cheaper to develop and maintain two versions the same way one would do for two languages.
