You won't believe how many of us learned things offline, by books. :) Moreover, I didn't have even an access to a computer while learning my first two languages. :) Getting help was just like asking around you. It was nice to have friends sharing the same hobby. And yes, programming on paper without any real experience rarely led to correct results. But when we're finally got our computers, we caught up really fast. And yes, everything still was offline by the modern standards.
