Don't forget the best feature - disconnect and reattach from/to tmux, leaving
all the 'windows' in place. I've been doing this with Screen for a decade and
a half, leaving windows open with things like ssh connections to servers.
It's actually saved my ass a few times (like when a rogue script deleted /usr
and nobody could log in).

I miss *step so bad. One of these days I'm going to switch to AfterStep and
lead the side of the screen with tons of those little square widget applets.
That'll look amazing on a widescreen monitor.
