I started to use computers when I was 13 (not *that* long ago!) and I
fully understood the manuals, help files etc... 

Besides, what do you mean by 'mature adult'? Everybody knows that its
only teenagers (16-20) that can get really good with computers.

Witness Bill Gates, the founders of Excite and Yahoo, and countless
other companies.
