Seriously? USB is 100x better then an old serial com port. My friggen laptop doesn't even have a com port, as probably most dont.
I'm looking at buying a personal weather station, I've always had a facination about weather, but they all use com ports to connect to my computer. Why can't they get with the times, I mean USB has only been out for 10 years...

I still use COM ports for some applications, mostly microcontroller programming. The DB-9 RS-232 ports are still very popular for both the industry that I work in and my hobby robots. :D
