I just think it's amusing for you to drag out the consultant's hammer and
nail problem resolution flowchart, telling the customer how they conduct
their business is all wrong because they're not using the "latest"
technology. That's usually the point in the meeting where I thank them for
their time and show them where the door is.
I think that maybe the bottom line with all the comments regarding
whether serial/parallel ports are necessary boils down to the
makeup of the list participants.
1. Business consultants/IT teams that use computers as a tool and
are required to support their customers/employees with the correct
hammer for the nails that were purchased by someone else. and they
had no input in the purchase rationale .
2. Hobbiests that are ONLY concerned with having the latest and greatest
of cheap toys/software/hardware and do not have the slightest idea of
the business/commercial world people who only want to get their work done..
3. Those that just like to tweak/harangue others on the list on their
poor choice of operating systems or software. They are the Trolls..
:) And if they get some all riled up, they have succeeded.. :(
