    Don't you guys work ever?

    hehe

    Ok, read through the posts and what i have to argue is this--that BOTH dpi AND document size count towards a file size.

    (They're both independent variables whose product determines the end file data size.)

    Indeed, I ALWAYS assumed dpi did not vary too much. All this talk of 96 and 100 dpi has caught me by surprise. While I was aware that 'dot pitch' (diagonal distance between like-colored phosphor dots) varied on monitors, I always thought it was screen size and not dpi (resolution density) that determined overall resolution (1024 x 768, 1280 x 1024, etc.)
