The part about it being just for video games teleported me back to childhood. It was incredibly frustrating trying to learn linux and programming on my own in a household having religious parents who saw everything with a screen as corrupting Television/Videogames. It was, I shit you not, a constant war just to be able to study anything directly involving the computer. It did give me a great appreciation for large textbooks though. Even if they were about computer topics, nobody gave me hell for spending hours with books about C or operating systems. Do the same thing interactively at the computer? Forget about it.
