Nothing says "I've seen some things" quite like remembering when computer mice had actual balls inside them. That serial port connector screams late 90s/early 2000s vibes when you had to clean mouse gunk off those little rollers inside because your cursor started moving like it had a mind of its own. The ball would collect desk debris like a tiny Roomba, and you'd have to pop open the bottom panel to clean it out every few weeks. Gen Z devs will never know the struggle of trying to explain to your boss why you're sitting at your desk playing with mouse balls during work hours. Those were the days when "plug and play" was more of a suggestion than a promise, and you needed to install drivers from a CD-ROM that came in a box the size of a textbook.
