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

Administering a school where there were no computer mice (but were computers)... Is there a picture for that?

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.
