[HM] screen resolution: pinched inches

[Brian Olesky]

The ruler shows...how do I describe this...the relative size of your page.
Each inch on the ruler shows an inch not on your screen, but on the actual
page when you print it out.

So whatever size you have the page on your screen, the ruler will always
show you the measurement of the real page.

Try it and see.
