web-safe were important once, for 256 colour outputs (8-bit) but is nothing very important now, since most people use jpeg and have 32-bit displays.
but it still lets you safe about the 40 colour difference that exists between mac/pc platforms (that can make a gif image render differently, eg), or when you're working with css and rollover highlighting of links, etc. But the difference is almost irrelevant in most cases.
you can check the difference between full-colour and safe here (check the 'reduce to web-safe' checkbox on top):
