Re: 72 DPI (ppi) fallacy?

Since I can never figure out why web designers would even test pages on a 
mac I can't imagine why we'd go with 96ppi.

For the last 3 years in the English speaking online world their presence 
has hovered between 1% & 2% of online traffic when measured against a 
traffic sample of 3 to 4 hundred million visitors in a 30 day period.

I suppose that if a client's market was focused on the print/graphic arts 
industry where mac has it's baby toe hold you might buy a mac for that 
project. Of course once it's done it would be a silly waste of valuable 
time to spend developing hours even viewing pages on it.
