At 7yo my family got our first home computer. I had no idea how to use it properly, so I was constantly bricking OS on it which lead my father to constantly call in his friend to fix our computer. I bet constant ass whooping made me quickly learn how to undo my own mess. At 10yo I could reinstall win98 though floppy with NC
Hey, this is how I learned the ins and outs of W95 / XP . Oops, bricked the main (and only) PC again, better fix that before parent finds out. Now where is that install CD?

Or he could have spent that time teaching you instead of just…child abuse.
He is tech-illiterate and knows jack shit. And ass whooping is very common in our culture unfortunately. Luckily, it sped up my computer learning.

I started with windows 95, although we had a monochrome pc someone gave us, but couldn’t do much with it. Used floppy floppies, the big ones.
I was ecstatic when we finally got a real pc, with 16bit colors!
