From a dark storage area I may someday again get out an early Sceptre gaming monitor from the DOS days.
I held on to it throughout the 1990's precisely because it was not a plug & play monitor and it was real good to install Windows with so nothing would interfere with higher resolution alternative graphics you were going to install later.
Now by the 21st century it was seldom seen but these were well-made and it still worked, however the most obsolete feature that got the most interest was the sleek aftermarket plastic accessory unit attached to the side of the monitor with those sticky 3M tacky pads that are so tenacious.
Yes, you've all seen it and remember it fondly, the mouse holder.
Kind of like a custom cup holder that fits the standard mouse perfectly, it's obviously where you keep your mouse most of the time, except for those rare occasions when you dabble in a bit of software which actually supports a mouse.
You want to keep it out of the way of your everyday desktop activities :)
