Try and find a serial port on a laptop these days! That is why I keep it around! Runs Win95. I should upgrade it to Windows 98SE. I think I have ME around here too but that was a POS.

For example, here is one impulse buy I made once that I need that laptops serial port for:

A lot of devices like routers and servers can only be talked to with a serial port too. So I need that little laptop for more than one thing.
