Love it or hate it, it is a universal standard. :)
THis is some new defintion of 'universal' :-)
I have over 200 computers here :
Almost all of them have RS232 ports
Many of them have Centronics-like parallel ports
Quite a few have 'user' TTL-level parallel ports
And a fair proprtion have HPIB/GPIB/IEEE488 ports
Not _one_ has USB, or can have USB. It's not universal here...
And I am not convinced a 'universal interface' makes any more sense than
a 'universal vehicle' that will carry 10 tonnes of cargo, will withstand
a hit from a shell and will win a Formula 1 race :-)

I don't like that fact that they rarely, if ever,
follow standards.
Eh? The company that first made the leap to USB?
