Our first was an Apple IIC purchased in 1985, and it came with a big-red-ball-mouse kinda thing that my son, then only three, worked like a master. I never got the hang of the thing, but he figured it out in no time. Now, of course, the kidlets are grown, and they all type, but not the way I do.

It took some convincing, but once I got past hunting and pecking, my words flowed and I could revise as I wrote.
