Hey Paulie,

pa> I do not use screen/tmux... I've used it a time or two that I needed to do something special with irssi (put handles on the left side
pa> of screen..) but I don't understand/know what its uses ARE.

The main reason I started using it is for disconnected sessions.

I can jump into a box, do some work, disconnect, comeback later, re-connect and see what happened.

In the old modem dialup internet days (or iffy internet connections), this was a saviour.

These days, I work at my desk on an iMac, or sit in front of the TV with a MacBook - and I can "switch" to either and continue where I left off.

The other benefit, especially when developing, one window "pane" is the tail of a debug log file, while another is an interface into the DB and the 3rd where I'm watching incoming HTTP requests. I can zoom into any pane to see more content, or have all 3 on the screen at once while I'm trying to figure out why an API call is failing.
