Yes, indeed.  I'm writing up a whole document.  I only have one more
piece of data to go and it'll be finished.  Unfortunately, that data is
on a window on my box at work, and I'm at home.  And I forgot to run
screen so that I could look at it regardless of where I am.  This last
run took several hours to complete which is why I wasn't there while it
was in progress.
