I agree 100%.  I recently bought a 10/100 Ethernet card for $12 US with free
overnight shipping (US) at Outpost.com.  Works fine at 10 and 100 Mbps.

Apple Computer is a little more forward-looking: they dropped serial ports a
couple years ago (SCSI & floppies too) and they never used those awkward
parallel ports.  Between Ethernet, USB, and FireWire, there are plenty of
options for connecting things to computers without using incredibly outdated
technology.
