if I remember correctly my first PC had the bigger DIN connector for the keyboard and a DSUB9 for the mouse. Guess I'm old
Same. I remember needing converters for these newfangled PS/2 connectors. Then again, I am old enough that I remember why floppies were called floppies, and used tape for more than just backup. And hard drives being as big as a shoe box and with less storage than you now have as CPU caches.

Same here. I was so excited when we upgraded to a 128, and skipped the 64 entirely. That was some serious computing power.
Yeah I loved my c-128

PS2 keyboards use interrupts rather than polling in USB, meaning every time a key is pressed the CPU stops what its doing to process it.
I didn't know the PS2 had a keyboard

Me too... my first code was for Commodore PET. Then I got an Amiga. Sad day when Commodore folded.
Then you will enjoy the news that Commodore was bought recently and they want to build new equipments, starting with a C64.
