Yep. DPI settings for the Web (or any other rendering on a CRT or similar
device) is essentially meaningless. What matters is the dimensionality, i.e.,
640 x 480, 800 x 600, etc. You can safely ignore the DPI info in Photoshop if
you're outputting a GIF, JPEG or whatever to a file for display on the WWW. It
only matters if you're sending the output to a typesetter or RIP device for
printing with real live ink.
