I think you'll find many commodity manufacturers already label the parallel 
port as "legacy".. In fact, a number of laptops are shipped without one!

 I don't think we will see the parallel port disappear for a few years, but 
the time will come - The alternatives are PCI cards (worth fitting one if 
only to take advantage of the faster IO read/writes), or using one of the low 
cost fpga cards with custom firmware. It has been muted in some quarters that 
the PCI bus will also disappear, so the fpga option may not sound as daft as 
it might first appear.


Regards, Paul.
