not quite as bad as when I learned to program, when you had to get
the code punched up on cards, then take the deck down to the computer
room and put it in the "in" tray, then wait a couple of hours until
they had time to run it.

And then when you went back down to the computer to pick up your job, you find out that some trifling typo in your input deck had caused the whole mainframe to abort and do a core dump, and not only is your job not done, everybody down there is livid at you. :-) Good luck getting them to run your next job at all! Ah, the not-so-good old days...
