A few months (year or more?) I posted a question to see how one could get an
application to run in a terminal and re-attach to that terminal from ssh.
The consensus was that Screen was the answer. Well, as I used it I also
found that it had a cool ability to allow two users to attach to the same
console at the same time. This was great when I was training my server
administrators to do all the ugly command line stuff. Well, it looks like
others have had luck with this too:

Honestly, it's a short article that just links to Screen's website, so it's
not all that interesting. Do any of you see a use for this? Most of us run
X so we would just fire up VNC and connect to the entire desktop, but this
is great for those situations where bandwidth is an issue, or having X is
just plain unacceptable.
Anyone think a screen demo would be a good presentation?
