I exploded a USB outlet with the wrong plug and I think I burnt out the receiver for my nifty mouse and keyboard. :( Now my keyboard has a CORD and I have to LEAN IN to zoom the internet because the mouse won't do it.

It's like a time machine trip back to caveman days.

Oh, you kids. I remember way back in nineteen ought eighty-two when I got my first computer for my classroom -- an Apple II. You had to load two floppies just to get Appleworks, 40 characters per line, about 100 bytes of memory total. I grew hair on my palms when we got a IIe with an 80 character card. The"mouse" was four direction keys and Pong had rad graphics - a green square. Ol' Dorothy Matrix printed everything out for us till she got carpel tunnel and retired. We had to walk five miles to plug the thing in, uphill both ways, through snow and with wild dogs nipping at us, but we thought it was sheer luxury, not like you kids today with your tattoos, nose rings, pants half way down your ass and your usb thong in a wad.

I believe I was 3 when we got this:
