Thanks Steve,
After some simulations, I now have a better idea on how the different
platforms display web images.
(The following is not personal)
So! There are a few people out there who are not yet on Mac.
All right, I'll set my system to those settings and convert to sRGB.
The images should then look pretty good on average PCs.
But what about the (maybe) 10% Mac users including myself? Will we have to
watch washy images with clipped cyans and oranges? What a frustration for
photographers, especially since many photographers and image people who know
what a good image should look like are on Mac!
Wouldn't it be time that computer makers find a common standard and stick to
it? Or is it a no go issue like metric and inches.
Being realistic, I don't think my barking or even most Mac user's will change
the face of the computer world, so is there a way to cut the pear in halves
and have a profile for those JPEGs that would stand mid way between sRGB and
Mac Monitor profile? Has someone found a good compromise?
Thanks to bear with me!

You are correctly color managing images for viewing on your monitor...only.
