7 I'm old fashioned. I use text based apps as much as possible. I'm using
8 mutt and vim to compose this e-mail, for example. They're running under
9 screen, which is running in an rxvt-unicode terminal under dwm. I could
10 detach my screen session, exit rxvt-unicode and bounce dwm without having to
11 exit vim or mutt. I also have music playing via moc in another screen
12 session. Thanks to screen I could bounce my window manager without missing
13 a beat. :-)
