Noel: You gave birth to yourself?
:P
I was 4 when I started.
I didn't really do much until I learned HTML many years later off of a book "borrowed" from my brother (thus sending me on a very long and meandering journey which eventually led me to Blitz... and then everything else).
Back then, it was just good times playing Commander Keen (still a great game), etc.
I remember recieving a mouse along with some quiz game eventually... it was amazing.
Of course, that's not what this thread is about.
My point is: I think kids should all be forced to start off with a Linux shell (or something like Edubuntu, if you're not completely ridiculous). Otherwise, they'll be corrupted by the simplified stuff in OSs like Windows, thus giving us a generation of people like this.
Edit:
Hmm... right after checking the This link, I realized that my Blitz User Quotes page is using that same sort of appalling "hey, a filesystem is a database, is it not?" sort of thing, and thus appears to be falling to pieces...
