Byron has made similar comments about the serial port.

Apparently a lot of people don't realise how serious the
manufacturers are about removing legacy ports.

I already know someone who had his PC custom built--so it's not an
issue of being a goofy Dell box--that came with USB ports only.  No
serial.  No PS/2.  No parallel.  It may have had an IR port, on that,
I'm not sure.

We have to be prepared to support USB somehow, which is the best
validation of my 2-chip idea that I can think of.
