As a glasses wearer for 75 years, and one of the tri-focal crowd for 
about 65 years, I cheat, making use of the multiple workspaces windowing 
system, I have a multitab terminal-4.8 session open on workspace 1. The 
first tab has a 'sudo htop' run on it, first thing after a reboot, so I 
can always kill a runaway session of firefox or iceweasel that refuses 
to die on request. Accessable in 2 clicks no matter how stuffed the 
system is.

Next tab has a "sudo tail -fn400 /var/log/messages" on it so I can look 
at the whole boot log if I want, and the next 3 or 4 tabs are tailing 
other stuff that automate much of what I do here.

workspace 2 has a duplicate of a multitab terminal-4.8 on it, each tab 
logged into a different machine on my local network with an 
"ssh -Y machine-alias".

I could go on for 8 more "workspaces", but you get the idea.;-)
And after 19+ days of uptime, I have 39 megs of stuff in swap. And I'm 
still on wheezy LTS.

Cheers, Gene Heskett
