Did I jump back far enough? Too far? How much forward should I jump now? Shoot, I think I overshot. It's practically an order of magnitude slower than with printed material.
There is a lot I don't miss about analog tape, but I do miss the ease of going back and forth arbitrary small amounts for both audio and video.
