Having grown up in the same era, not being afraid of breaking things was crucial. I remember doing roughly the same things - being bored in class and going through the entire start menu. I remember adults being very apprehensive about messing about with things. I didn't have the same(perhaps learned) aversion to playing with the settings of something. To some degree, I wonder if this was a learned behavior from an earlier era where it was _much_ harder to just reset something and try again.
