Yeah, I used to wait 45 minutes for our overloaded department minicomputer to assemble my cartridge, then download it at 9600 baud (only 16K, so not too bad). At night the assembly times took a few minutes.

On a modern PC, this takes seconds; my fingers and brain are the bottleneck, which is how it should be.
