Indeed. There's no way I would've learned how to program at such an early age if the process had been any more complicated than "install Turbo Turtle." (And later, HyperCard, THINK Pascal, THINK C, and finally CodeWarrior.) It wasn't until I had basic command of a few different languages that I was thrust into the world of UNIX, emacs, Perl, CPAN, and so on. By that time I was able to handle it, but if that had been my first go of it, I'd have run for the hills and never looked back.
