Behind the pc curve

[bookzombie]

You know you are behind the pc technology curve when:

1. You start playing a space-sim game (Darkstar One for anyone who is interested)
2. You decide that play would be greatly improved by using a joystick
3. You get out your trusty heavy-duty Raptor joystick
4. You then realise that your pc (which is itself nearly 4 years old now) doesn't have a place to plug it in!

When did that happen? And how come it took me so long to notice?

Sigh.

Aaah, yes. Non-USB peripherals are basically dead at this point...

Technology moves too damned fast these days. The mobile phone i got back in december is faster than my 1st (circa 1999) laptop!! I'm using it as a phone, PDA, MP3 player, and camera, and it fits in my pocketses!

But i still ain't got no flying car.

Heh.

I've had problems before now with not having the right mouse for the socket. My old computer had a serial mouse port... you don't really see them any more!
