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.

Bitch

please.

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

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

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.....

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

I'm this old.

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?

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

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

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.

An elegant port for a more civilized time

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