The mac screen is supposedly 72dpi. But if you run an Apple color monitor next
to an Apple monochrome monitor (which has the same pixel dimensions), it's
fairly obvious that the two images (of the desktop, etc) are not the same size.
Does anyone know which monitor is *really* 72dpi? Or are neither of them? Was
the original mac screen really 72 dpi? (I'm just curious about this, BTW).
Thanks,
   Tim
