How old are you?

This old. 
"Coaxial mouse old" isn't a thing, gramps. I hate to tell you, but the senility's kicking in...

Hey y'all remember when mice had balls in them? turns to dust
I was just thinking this the other day. I also remember that you had to open the mouse to clean it because the little internal rollers got tangled in grossness.
And the balls in the mice at school would get thrown around the room/lost/stolen until the computer teachers glued them shut so you couldn't clean the rollers and it was almost impossible to use them
They had that softness that made them feel harmless, but their weight was unmistakably dangerous.

I feel attacked
Apparently some of us are older than even the corpse....no mouse gang here.
I think we were.
I'm no-keyboard-and-mouse-connector-at-all-because-keyboard-is-built-into-the-computer-and-mice-aren't-a-thing old.
My Apple ][ Plus was like that.

“Press play on tape”
Bottom picture isn't even that old
RS-422 is from 1975
RS-232 was what PCs used and its from 1960.
... :(
DIN-5 was a dope connector. No bent pins, stuck in there sturdy, you could rotate it until you got it with no guessing, no wimpy cable breaking off.
Still is! I rock many DIN-5 cables in my home studio for MIDI. You’re not joking when you say “you could rotate it until you got it with no guessing”, I have to do that every damn time.
I had to put my HDD in park position manually.
This meme is already outdated, we have USB c now.
I don’t think I’m on the chart. First computer was a RadioShack TRS-80. 4 kb of RAM, but I upgraded to a blazing 8 kb. Yee-haw! No floppy discs: my programs were saved on cassette tape using a cassette recorder connected to the computer. Those were the days.
You had a TRASH-80?!? Amazing. I only got to play star trek on one at school.

... Parallel port ...
My age exceeds that of the universe!
My first system was an Altair 8800.
For input it used physical switches on the front panel.
And until I got expansions for it, it didn't even have any ports on the back.
Let's be real, usb-a is ancient now.
Trust me people who use multiple monitors LOVE the VGA cable because it's +1 monitor on what usually would be only 1 HDMI slot, maybe 2 if you were lucky.
this meme and the fashion world at large agree that I am a decrepit hag at 30 years old
Older. The C64 was my second computer. Or the third, if I count in the one I built myself, too.

We're highlanders, apparently. I guess we make the zombies look young.
