Oh, hey, I had a PS/2 for a while. I got it used from Sears as my co-worker's husband worked there, and I would buy what he traded in when he upgraded. I really loved the PS/2, and my granddaughter pretty much learned how to use a computer on it. She was 4 or 5 at the time.

I think you're referring to the PS2 (Play Station 2 Game Console ) [ Image ] and not a PS/2 (Personal System 2 Connector)[ Image ].

No, seriously, it was a, IBM PS/2 computer, this was back in the early 80's I think. The monitor was attached to the box as one unit. I really liked the interface, it was like manila folders in a file cabinet. But you are correct, I am not referring to a PS/2 connector.

Actually, I remember that 2-ton, wasn't there a battle between IBM and Commodore over who stole the concept from whom?

I was not into the computer world enough to know if the was a battle, at the time, IBM was higher end that the lowly Commodore. Before the IBM, we had an Atari, which was pretty much just a Commodore 64 by another company.
