You are correct. It's no longer true. I don't know
what the average monitor size is -- probably about 15",
accounting for legacy systems (average diagonal size
sold during 1999 would be higher). However, well over
50% of Internet users now have screen resolutions of
600x800. Here's one source for data:

TheCounter.com notes that a full 81% of users were
using screens with at least a resolution of 600x800 in
Jan., 2000. Now, of course, this data isn't perfect.
But it's good enough for government work. You will
also want to look at this to see other info:
