Yeah.  It's a good laptop, but lack of serial on the base unit sucks.  I
don't think I've *EVER* used parallel on my laptops.  ;-)  At least it has
video on the base unit, unlike the Vaios.

What I really wish was that the system could boot from compact flash, since
it has a CF slot in it.  That'd be pretty handy...
