    Fairly certain my first computer used something like this for the keyboard. I did not have a mouse.

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

        Damn good mouse.

              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.

                Its on the side. You can kind of see it in your picture. I have a C64 within arms reach.

                Bonus points if you had a mouse to use with GEOS:

                    BTW, Commodore got bought out.

                    They are releasing C64 again.

                        Typed! Back in my day we just got a wire that you had to lick in binary to tell the computer what to do.

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

                            My age in fond memories:

                            Commodore PET/CBM 4032

                            Acorn Atom

                            I don't have long for this world...

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

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