Mine came with a PCI SCSI card, so the lack of onboard SCSI isn't a
problem, but I do miss _real_ serial ports. I play with things like
LCD controllers (yes, there _are_ USB-attached textual and graphical
LCDs, but they aren't as easy to talk to), so it's nice to have either
a real serial port or a real parallel port for simplicity.

This is a
university town and,
so G3's aren't hard to come by cheap if the urge should ever hit me
again.
Beige G3's are OK, and still have SCSI and serial ports. I have a gaggle
of G3 powerbooks that I use at CHM for various recovery projects. Blue
and White machines switched to USB and dumped SCSI and serial, which
make them less interesting.
