Tabbed filePro-ing

Useless to me.  I use one linux system to connect to everywhere.  In my
single PuTTY window, I run screen(1).  Anything else is redundant.  And
running something like this simply eats GDI resources needlessly.  I'm
betting that with the .NET 2.0 use, it's actually more resource hungry than
running three PuTTY sessions.

If it weren't for screen(1), maybe I'd think it was useful.  Or maybe not.
Before I used window(1) and screen(1), I did have a habit of having a
layout of three NCSA Telnet windows on PC and Mac desktops.  Ditto X11
desktops, with an option to bring up more.  I dunno, I've never thought it
a big deal.  I -don't- like the way his screenshot depicts the aspect
ratios and sizes all askew and altered, definitely--especially with my
eyesight, I'm very picky about fonts and size.

Yeah, and his license makes -zero- allowance for commercial use.  You can't
even license it for that, apparently.  So technically, you can't use it
commercially.  Technically.  Although--it is from a French coder, so they'd
probably just surrender in court. :)
