First, for someone who claims not to be a *nix wizard you are not very
convincing. There aren't a lot of 20 year-old non-compsci geeks around
that don't at least use a graphical browser ;)

Second, and more to the (OT) point, what does screen do better than
multiple xterms, or shell-mode in Emacs? I'm pretty mouseless most of
the time, emacs and xterm being my primary tools, but I keep seeing
reference to this screen thing. Just curious... I'm going to have to
take a look at Stump now too, since Fluxbox does still have me mousing
around for a few things, mostly arranging my multiple xterms.

Cheers,

Tyler
