Programming was really, REALLY hard before the Internet. If you couldn't figure something out, you might just have to give up. I can't count the number of times I've solved a problem because of information on the Internet that I NEVER could have figured out on my own.
I remember trying to program on the C64 and just running into brick walls constantly. I still remember some of the problems, that could have been solved if I had a mentor. In retrospect my parents could have found me a mentor, but nobody thought of it I guess.
