Digital photography

macs and windows are now 2.2 gamma

99% of computers have uncalibrated screens and the brightness turned up to max (not 120 lumens/m2) most monitors cannot show the adobe98 colourspace, most laptop screens are 6 bit dithered to 8 bit colour.

colour management is a complicated as you want it to be :-)

Okay, so does it matter what proof setup setting I use, as long as RGB for web and CMYK for print? And what does 'proof colours' show me when it's on, and when it's off?

I shoot in Adobe98 and export as sRGB when using the images for web - correct? If I was sending an image to print, I would keep the Adobe98 colourspace and work in CMYK - correct?

I don't want it to be complicated! I do think it's important to understand how it works though.
