That's funny, I have a Droid 2 Global and it's great. Well, once I disabled as much of the crap that Motorola bundled with it and removed their terrible widgets. Suddenly I stopped having problems booting the shell and my battery life literally doubled.
Know what caused the worst CPU and power consumption? The RSS reader. A technology literally designed for occasional checking and low bandwidth consumption.
Magically, I can install a dozen widgets from other random third party vendors with no problems. Foursquare? Twidroid? Reddit is Fun? All fine, all on my home screen and auto-updating. Yet Motorola, with the ability to do literally months of integration testing, can't make an app that would be an easy exercise for any first-year CS student without FUBARing it all up. I don't even know why they bothered because Android comes with a news app ANYWAY that actually works. Pathetic.

You can do the same with by ssh'ing to the first server and scp'ing a file from it to the second, but that requires generating keypairs and copying the public keys around.
Check out SSH Agent Forwarding some time.

They talk about improving concentration yet they recommend flickery distracting fluorescent lights? Not a source I'd go to for reliable advice on productivity.
I do like plants in the office though.

VirtualBox, on the other hand, seemed to only support a linear, multiple-level undo.
Just like ZFS.
