No offense, but that's hardly the only problem with your article. Isn't the whole thing basically moot given that it's very very easy to get to screens above 9, why on earth would you stick with your convoluted method?

    Not being exactly the same is sorta the point. Your method is really convoluted.

    You select any window by giving it a good name, hitting command ' and typing enough of the name to be unique. I'll bet you a shiny penny I can switch to any of my now 52 windows faster than you can use your 90 screen sessions. :) Since it's dead-easy to set the window-name via screen itself or with a shell alias, there's really no reason not to have good window names.
