Yeah, same here.  Take a look at tmux if you get bored, it has some 
pretty cool features that go a little beyond screen.  I still mostly use 
screen too, but will likely move to tmux eventually.

Yep.  Tmux uses Ctrl-B as it's prefix by default, which is extremely 
awkward, but thankfully it's easily configured to Ctrl-A.  ;-)
