@kingu oh wow! I wish I remembered the fun silly programming which made the cursor jump around the screen.I wish I could find an emulator to play the version of Q*Bert we had in the early 90s on our Windows 3.0 Hewlett Packard. Every version I've found is just not the same.

@kingu No mouse, and the word processing software mimicked typewriter functionality (backspace didn't delete characters, and overwrite was the default instead of insert).

@kingu Explaining to people how a mouse was once a novel input device.How you'd measure CPU speed in kHz.How diverse keyboards were.How you had computers without a harddrive.How you'd install a sound card.How 256 colours were a huge leap forwards.How 640x480 was once massively upgraded high resolution."Everything was so much better in the past!"I think not.

@kingu You bunch of youngsters! My first computer didn't even have a power switch! (Sinclair ZX81.)
