Yeah, that is a pattern I've seen. I grew up having to troubleshoot stuff offline just to get a modem on PC to work on dialup to get to a BBS or CompuServe or editing mods for computer games, whereas my Mac friends were mostly playing with artistic programs on Mac. I also used artistic software on PC but that too required more skill. I don't recall seeing them deal with a command line interface whereas most of my earliest games ran in DOS.
