Just for context: I grew up in a small village in Denmark. My window to the world was one-hour bus trips to the nearest town which had a decent library, including some computer magazines.

None of my peers did any programming, and since Denmark does not have flat-rate local calls, calling up via modem to connect to a BBS was never really an option -- so there was really no-one to share with. That is certainly somewhere were the internet would have been a plus.
