Very good info...one question...

Since we're dealing with both PC and Macs on the web, why would you not 
change to 96 ppi, instead of 72 ppi, especially if you'll be doing more 
altering after this? I realize that to the PC users it wouldn't look 
different, but wouldn't an image with 72 pixels in each inch have some 
distortion on a Mac (like if you have an IMG tag with slightly too big 
height/width settings)? I've tried testing the size difference, and it must 
be very minimal, since I don't see one even with 1000x1000 images at each 
setting. So why not default to the screens requiring more info? Or am I 
missing something, and it won't matter at either setting?
