This probably annoys me more than anything about smartphones. New model of somesuch comes out, and it has a bunch of newer features, but a lot of features I've come to expect are suddenly gone.
It was never that way with PCs. A lot of things about phones are unfortunately not like it was with PCs. I'm amazed to say it, but I've come to view IBM and Microsoft as fantastic drivers of open technology during the PC area.
- TylerE 9y agoWell, it IS that way with PC's too, it's just been a bit slower. Try finding a modern motherboard with an AGP slot or a real parrallel port.
- freehunter 9y agoTry finding one with a serial port. And that technology is still in active use in IT networking and embedded devices.
- dagw 9y agoTry finding one with a serial port I just did. Found three or four modern motherboards with serial ports with much effort.
- freehunter 9y agoSorry for some reason I read "laptop". It's much harder to find a modern laptop with a serial port, and a desktop is not very easy to carry into a datacenter.
- dagw 9y agoAGP might be tricky, but buying a pci express parallel port card is trivial.
- egeozcan 9y agoWhy do you need AGP? I'm very curious to know if it still has a use case.
