(modern system has no serial, no parallel, no floppy, and only one card
slot - oh, and one of those God-awful touchpad things, and a keyboard
that's about as good as a Sinclair Spectrum)
To be fair, that's all available via the port replicator. And to get
floppy, you have to swap out the CD-ROM - that's a good compromise for a
laptop.
