>...I think about on-screen image sizing purely in terms of pixels and find
the idea of trying to size things on-screen based on inches or any other
physical measurement to be silly, at best.

I couldn't have said it better myself... :)
>For someone coming from a background in print design, I can certainly
understand why there would be a tendency to think in terms of physical units
(even if it is nonsensical when talking about on-screen display by the
general public).

I come from a print design background (17 years) and have never felt the
urge to take a printout and hold it up to the screen to see if something
matched a printout. Every program I use has a ruler in it and will tell me
the dimensions of any given object. As a matter of fact I've never had
anyone ask me why an inch on screen isn't a real inch.
Oh well... This discussion had little to do with anything CSS and should've
been settled long ago by saying "Use EMs instead of PX or %s to make your
site more viewable."
