I raise

edit, actually, it might have been on the back...it's been forever since I touched one

Big keyboard jack, serial for mouse, parallel for printer

In my day, the RJ-11 jack was for connecting the keyboard, not the phone line.

The time of the classic "Keyboard missing. Press F1 to continue."

Bitch

please.

(Kidding, you’re not a bitch and this isn’t a contest. But if it was…)

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

"do you know what ps/2 ports are?"

"holy cow, PlayStation 2? you must be AT LEAST 25!"

[dying inside intensifies]

"how old are you?"

Back in my day they weren't color coded.

I'm this old

PS/2

No, not the PlayStation.....

I'm this old.

Look at you with your fancy ps/2 keyboard port. Where's my AT port and 9 pin serial mouse.

Old enough

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 ;)

lol PS/2 ports are the newer ones. There were larger AT ports and ADB ports in addition to the 25-pin(!) LPT port (printer mostly) and COM ports (random peripherals including early mice, pre ps/2)

You guys had keyboards?

Yeah well my first computer typed in cuneiform so get off my lawn you kids

But the keyboard is the computer, mice haven’t been invented yet and where do I plug the tape deck in?

An elegant port for a more civilized time

Oh I first learned to type by typing "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dogs" over and over on a wireless keyboard.

Called a typewriter.

These aren't old. I had one in the early 2010s, it was handed down by a relative because my parents were poor.

I'm Gen Z
