                    Idem 😆

                    I would love a tshirt with an AT "Big-DIN" for the keyboard and a DSUB RS232 for the mouse !

                        @rl_dane @SamuraiSakura Really? I think I might even have a three button USB one in my Mouse Bucket™, the were a possibility long after e.g. you weren't able to get non-Windows-keyboards anymore (and I'm talking about just three buttons in the front, there are still some mice with three buttons and a scroll while, especially those vertical "war veteran" ones).

                        Probably the reason why I'm still opening links with a scroll wheel click and close tabs that way.

                        I still miss my PS/2 Logitech Trackman (three buttons, trackball at thumb position), but the death of scroll bars have made non-wheel devices harder to use, never mind that by now I might get a bit of thumb RSI from using it longer. (They made one with a mouse wheel, too, but that's not my nirvana model)

                            @mike @jmessager @SamuraiSakura I didn't *have* that because the floppy didn't belong to me. But I had fun using it.

                              @bonkers I think I got my copy as "payment" for fixing someone else's computer. They'd gotten it with their computer and didn't know what it was, so they asked me if I wanted it. Cheaper than paying me in real money I guess.

                                    @82mhz Me too. This was from the late 80s IBM PS/2 computer and others later on. This was my first computer in school when they decided to get all new computers for computer and accounting class and other classes.
