Led mouse instead of trackball/mechanical mouse.

Or having a mouse at all. Even in the late 80’s, mice were a luxury item. And those horrible resistive touch screens in the auto parts store were a nightmare compared to today’s capacitive phone screens.
Light pens were cool, though.

Yeah I paid $60 for a mouse in 1984/1985. My friend borrowed it to try it out and a few weeks later his mom got rid of his computer along with my mouse. Nooooooo!
