It's as if the Windows spec were retconned into being the historical norm all along, but I need to dig around to find the origin story here... Why 96 dpi? My simple guess is that 96 is also divisible by 12, and thus easy to split up into 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 18, 24 parts... you also have eight pieces in 72 for every nine pieces in 96. 72 = 8 x 9 = 2^3 * 3^2 96 = 32 x 3 = 2^5 * 3 Huh. Never really realized that...
