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

Wait, there weren’t mice on any our Apple II in my elementary school’s computer room.

Or keyboard plugs for that matter. Welcome to my crypt I guess.
