Cool! Thanks for the confirmation on this.
By "backdoor entry", I assume you mean something like respond.js
and/or IE conditional style sheet that loads the desktop styles (as a
work around to the whole "mobile first" approach/technique)?

Interesting!
I have not heard of SSRs before... Is that "SQL Server Reporting Services"?
Also, I prefer having my MQs is embedded inside my CSS (i.e. not as a
part of style link in the head); based on what you (and Philippe) are
saying, it sounds like I can ditch "only" without any huge side
effects... Cool! :)
So, I have one more bit of code to run by ya'll... How does this look:
<snip>
@media
screen and (min-width: 990px) and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 1.5),
screen and (min-width: 990px) and (-o-min-device-pixel-ratio: 3/2),
screen and (min-width: 990px) and (min--moz-device-pixel-ratio: 1.5),
screen and (min-width: 990px) and (min-device-pixel-ratio: 1.5) { ... }
</snip>
Goal of above code: Target (screen only) retina display (1.5 device
pixel ratio and above) at >= 990 width.
I've tested and it appears to work... I just could not think of a
better way to make that more DRY.
Also, I opted to include the "screen" property(?), as I will probably
do something different for print in the long run.
Thanks again Georg!
Cheers,
Micky
