If your classification for an advanced computer is that it have no PS/2 ports... well I gotta tell you... there arn't too many "advanced" computers around. Your senseless argument over one of the most common peripheral connectors after USB is dumb. It doesn't make practical sense to remove them unless you make your own keyboards, and can force people to upgrade.
I haven't used a PS/2 keyboard on my computer for a while, but I continue to use them on a number of systems, even some that you might consider "advanced", because they happen to work, and don't need upgrading.
There is also a reason that USB to Serial adapters are probably one of the most common demands for a lot of laptops. Just because you see "legacy" equipment as not "advanced" doesn't mean that is obsolete, worse, or must be replaced. I suspect that you may own some "apple" computers, or only own laptops. I believe this because these are about the ONLY systems that you cannot find PS/2 on. Only a handful of desktops have shed themselves of this "legacy" connector.
OK, enough ranting. I still can't believe the people replying after you were just as dumb.
