Yep :)

I've asked a lot of people throughout the years about how they got into programming. And more than just a handful of people said that they got into programming because of the demoscene, and more specifically, Denthor's graphics tutorials. And only because it was fun and exciting, and something they wanted to emulate. Some pursued it as a career, but a lot didn't (this was pre-Internet bubble so computers weren't something you could get a job with!).
