I guess it may depend on what you do. As for me, I (for instance)
regularly start off a performance test on friday afternoons and then
keep an eye on the progress from the pub. From ssh on my phone I can
easily fix and/or monitor anything while I sip my ale... Similarly I may
be called out to investigate what's wring with someone's dialup system
(modem/ISDN/whatever), using ssh on my phone I can then monitor the
modem pool's logs etc while experimenting with the settings on the box -
exeedingly convenient.
You don't miss it until you've had it - but then I'm rather a geek...
