About a week ago I wrote in a comment here that "Some of us (masochists) actually like RS-232!". It's nice to be reminded that I'm not the only one!
My primary laptop is an (8-year-old!) ThinkPad W530 that I can't bring myself to part with (it's a beast and still outperforms many of today's more "modern" laptops).
It doesn't have an actual serial port built-in but it does have an (34mm) ExpressCard slot. Luckily, I managed to find a card with an actual RS-232 serial port that connects to the host using PCIe, NOT USB.
I'm going to be quite sad once the W530 gives up the magic smoke. I have stockpiled spare hardware in preparation of that day, however.
