I recently got an ASUS P5N-D (a regular ATX board). Not only does it have a paralell port, but it also has a SERIAL port.

I knew the first reply would be within minutes being someone saying they were using one right now or something, but 95% of us don't use one, or don't need to use one (as in, could update your 10 year old printer).

Unless you have a special application, in which case this computer isn't probably for you anyway, then the large majority of us don't need one anymore and they just take up space.]]>May 19th 2008 9:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/19/atom-powered-d945gclf-mini-itx-motherboard-now-available/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/19/atom-powered-d945gclf-mini-itx-motherboard-now-available/

I kinda understand how you feel about parallel ports, but serial ports will be on computers for a very long time. A vast majority of UPSs, routers, switches, and 1000 other items that are often used around these boards require serial. Sure, you could use a converter, but then if you had a farm of these that would be a few thousand converters. Serial is pretty useful in some applications too when you wanna have something screwed onto the back of the case and not just a random usb connector that can pop off.]]>May 19th 2008 9:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/19/atom-powered-d945gclf-mini-itx-motherboard-now-available/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/19/atom-powered-d945gclf-mini-itx-motherboard-now-available/
Really, I guess my point is moot because mini-itx is a set size and won't get smaller, and smaller versions already have the parallel port off. My point was more of a don't hold up the rest of us for those very few who do use it, but I guess if there's room on a mini-itx, it's probably the least used port on a computer now, but it's still used by some, so it might as well be left on.

It seems like mini is right about the size where they sometimes have them, sometimes don't. I've see mini-ITX systems with and without.]]>May 19th 2008 9:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/19/atom-powered-d945gclf-mini-itx-motherboard-now-available/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/19/atom-powered-d945gclf-mini-itx-motherboard-now-available/May 19th 2008 1:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/19/atom-powered-d945gclf-mini-itx-motherboard-now-available/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/19/atom-powered-d945gclf-mini-itx-motherboard-now-available/

why? MAC mini eats anything this can do for breakfast.I don't see what the carry on is about these atoms, they are not only low power ,but they are low performance as well.In other words , they are crap.
I mean if you need a crap, slow pc , theres plenty of them around and they are often quite cheep.
