First of all, the current group of developers are smart guys. I'm not saying they'll have it tomorrow but they may get around to it eventually. And if not, I'm sure someone will pick up the ball. Heck, it might even be me. > maybe you should tell del to start advertising the models with serial > ports?:P point is like i said the machines i've gotten which are generally > the shitmachines as i > call dells haven't had them:P It might be a good idea for you to ask on this list for recommendations next time you need to buy a new PC. Its not difficult to get a PC with a serial port. Another suggestion I have is to check used computer stores. You might be able to find a slightly older high-end model for cheap there. Of course, there is also the option of building your own PC. I built my last two PCs myself. Admittedly, that is not for the faint of heart.
