Sure.  And as my dad used to tell me, "Sure, you can do it; but if you make a 
mistake I'll get mad at you, but if I do it myself and make a mistake, I'll 
only be mad at myself".  So I like coding my own statements, even aside from it 
being quicker.

I found that it took less time to punch my own programs than to have the 
keypunch operators do it; as you noted, errors.

The same applies to typing once I had access to FORMAT and, later, SCRIPT.
