Everything was slower back then; we just worked at a slower pace and "disconnected". Turn on the PC, and go make coffee; start a build, and go over notes and comments again; start a download, and clean up the desk or go for a drink at the cooler; launch a big report, and make a phone call.
Now we're so completely absorbed by the screen for so long, we get irritated by any perceived delay.
