My parents had never owned a computer before. My first PC came with an empty HDD, and somebody gave me a DOS boot disk. It was weeks before we tracked somebody down to install a copy of Windows on it.
I'll never be sure how many trials and errors I had before I could do something, but eventually I figured some things out.
Definitely would have been faster with somebody showing me. I probably would have been about 6 or 7.
Watching my 7 year old fumbling around with Scratch makes me think it's not as rare or amazing as it seems. He gets better all the time.
