AFAIK the EeePC has three USB ports and an SD slot, which you can use for storage increases and communications expansions (e.g. a 3G mobile module, Bluetooth adaptor or USB-serial connector). It seems that most people don't care much for a serial port or PSTN modem anymore :( > Hope you get to have a look at one. I think that's the first new > computer I've ever had!

Oh come on, Terminator 2 was sooo 1991! ;) -- "The solution is patenting as much as we can. A future startup with no patents of its own will be forced to pay whatever price the giants choose to impose. That price might be high. Established companies have an interest in excluding future competitors." - Bill Gates, 1991
