That's nothing! When I was a kid we couldn't even afford keyboards! We
had to use jumper switches to manually key in the ASCII codes! We
DREAMED of the incredible luxury of a PET keyboard! Don't even get me
started on the 45 lb. mouse I had to lug to school and back, uphill both
ways, through 3 feet of punch card clippings!
