Computers without parallel, serial, or PS2 ports(there will be 6 more USB 2.0 ports to make up).
How do you feel about this?

" USB-1 parallel adapters cannot fully emulate normal parallel ports - USB-1 does not have the bandwidth to do it. Such adapters work only with printers and probably not all of them."
USB 1.1 is 1.5MB/S in low and 12MB/S in high mode.
USB 2.0 is 480MB/S.
Parallel is 2.0MB/S.
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">The last time either my keyboard OR my mouse got unplugged - some (i'm guessing older) styles of PS2 ports aren't hot-plugable. Though it is true I came accross a PS2 port that didn't shut down when a mouse was unplugged. And I've seen some that kill both ports if either one was unplugged.Originally posted by jmm:
USB as opposed to PS2 Keyboards and Mice - They suck, bigtime! When was the last time a PS2 keyboard or mouse ever left you with no alternative to reaching for the power switch?
