*gasp* Don't ever say that about a Mac!!!!!

I realize that Macs are so far ahead of the game. With Vista, they just released voice recognition (or one that WORKED, anyway) when Mac has had it for over 15 years. Computers STILL have PS/2 ports (extremely outdated) when Macs havent had any legacy ports in 9 years.

Makes ya think...

Not all PC's still do. Today's laptops certainly don't come with them, and we purchased a desktop last year, and it didn't come with PS/2 ports, either.

You are correct. Most PC's do NOT come with PS/2 ports any longer.

Well then they are JUST starting to PHASE it out. Pretty pathetic though, nonetheless.

SSS!!! Add more crying emoticons. I have a feeling that I'm going to be very emotional soon.

No, its been that way for at least a few years now.

I still see HP's and Dell's and stuff with those ports still in stores.

Well, Vista's voice recognition doesn't necessarily work...

Well, I can tell you that all the Dell's I bought last year (3) did not come with PS/2 ports.

Thats odd cause I stopped seeing PS2 ports on those eeons ago. 

[Gil]

Ok well then certain models have them, and certain models don't. maybe the low end computers do.

[lfmusiclover]

I haven't seen ANY computer with PS2 ports in eeons.

Never heard of a computer like that
