My dad used to bring home a work laptop in Ukraine on rare occasions (I remember it having a trackpoint so I think some sort of thinkpad) and I'd sit there and mess around in Paint for a few minutes until he'd take it back. I can't remember the age, maybe..7? At one point around that age we got a computer lab in school. I remember we had to type in programs during the classes. We only had a few classes though from memory. If we typed the program in quickly enough we could actually spend time playing the resulting game :D I'm now a fast typist. The first time I started really using a computer was when we got one at home after moving to the U.S. - I was about 12 or 13 at the time.
