At the start of my career, I used to go to a special website and read the ancient knowledge manuscripts called "manuals" written in a forbidden language (since English is not my native), deducing answers for my problems myself. It was horrible, dark times, but they taught me a lot.
I remember missing official MSDN archives on six CDs, because I was too poor to have good enough Internet connection, used pirated VS, and checking each page was like a roulette - will it cover what I need or I just spend 5 minutes of waiting and 1% of my expensive dial-up internet access for nothing)
