Years ago computers did not have USB. The standard for keyboard and mouse was PS/2 and there were adaptors to work both ways to USB as that took over. Yes, I do remember serial mice. Not sure I'll ever need these again. #computer #history

Of Mice and Men, modern edition ;)

Kids today have it easy. Setting up a mouse, modem or printer used to be hard. Had to set bit rates, parity and interrupts. None of this plug and play nonsense.

And they don’t even know how lucky they are. Soon they’ll be luckier. Ai will be born alongside them to help them grow and learn more easily 🤣🤣

How did you get them again?

They have been in my drawer for many years and I have been tidying up. It may be time to let them go.

Sure, you will not need them again. The world is advancing

I definitely remember using both of those in various configurations on a few machines. I kinda miss those days sometimes.

😂😂 you think you won't be needing them?

Woahhh, lots of advancements now. I'm you won't need them again
