Well now, screen is a whole new exciting world of suck. I particularly like the way that the backspace key generates a different character depending on the phase of the moon.

It's why I keeping an old Laserjet 4 running because otherwise I'd have to select one of many Unix printing "solutions" that randomly causes fifty pages of raw ESC/P or whatever to come out of the printer instead of a one page document. Instead, I randomly get just a single page complaining that the Postscript was too complex which at least kills fewer trees.
