Back in the mid 80's I was going to school at DeVry in Kansas City.  We had to submit our COBOL programs to compile during our one hour lab time.  I believe all of the programs where Que'd up and sent to a computer in Chicago to actually do the compile.  We had to wait until the next day to review our compile for any errors like missing periods.  If we got our programs sent off early in our hour we used to go sit and watch the 'Love Connection' in the lounge area.  Going to Hawaii to wait sounds a lot better. 🙂
