      I remember the adapters that went from the larger version of this to smaller as well as using the serial port.

          I remember when mice were a neat new peripheral for use with graphical interfaces instead of typing in a command line.

                That's because color hadn't been invented yet and therefore people could only see in black and white. That's why old shows don't have color.

                  Many professional gamers still depend on them because they have lower latency than USB.

                          PS/2 isn't vintage. I'm still using an adapter to connect my Microsoft Natural keyboard through USB.

                          Oh, wait...

                            And the newer ones then "removed" the color coding by doing one half of the circle in green, the other half in purple...

                                Ooh, I had a serial mouse (9 pin) from Microsoft of all companies, in the 90's.

                                Damn good mouse.

                                          Me too... my first code was for Commodore PET. Then I got an Amiga. Sad day when Commodore folded.
