I've always been a really short-attention-span kind of guy and the batch Fortran jobs got old *really* fast. If my college hadn't installed Teletypes connecting to a timeshare service, I probably would have changed careers.

I guess that's why digital photography works for me where film never did. And I can't stand gardening either. Plants are just way too too slow and non-interactive for me. Don't get me wrong, I love shootin' 'em when I happen across them. :)

Oh I remember those painful days of punched cards.
Your program doesn't compile because of 3-4 syntax errors
(typos or misplaced commas or semicolons).
So you correct the 3 you find and resubmit the deck.
Of course, it fails because there was the 4th error you didn't see or
failed to correct.
Another 2 hours shot to shit waiting for the deck to be re-run!

Similarly, those who've never had the opportunity to program a computer by
punching cards, adding job control to the deck, dropping the whole thing on
the floor and having to re-sort it, submitting your job and waiting two
weeks for a printout only to discover you had a missing semicolon -- you
dunno what you're missing. Just do it! :)

Nah, in both cases, been there done with that.  When I want grainy, low
contrast, fuzzy looking monochrome prints, I've got a PS plugin for that.
