- Hi, all!
-
- Just want to thank everyone again that has helped me out with recommenda-
- tions on buying a new system. Response has been great!
-
- Another question, though. I notice that ads for most systems
- say they have 2 serial ports, two parallel ports and one game port, right?
-
- Then why do Gateway system ads say that that they only have 1 parallel and
- 2 serial ports? Are Gateway systems "port poor" or something? What's
- the story? (Serial ports are for printers and external modems, right? Game
- ports are for joysticks, etc, and what are parallel ports for??)
-
- Thanks in advance!
- -Jose'
