What's Hot for 2003
The year in preview--from the tech gear you'll buy to Web services you'll try.
Disappearing Ports and Drives
If you buy a new PC this year, you may notice that a few things are missing. That's because PC makers are beginning to phase out older components such as parallel, serial, and PS/2 ports. So-called legacy-free PCs have appeared before. But now CD-RW drives are cheap and widespread enough that Gateway's Profile PCs and Dell's OptiPlex SX260 come sans floppy drive. Motherboard vendor Abit omits parallel and serial ports on its AT7 and IT7 boards in favor of FireWire, USB 2.0, and digital sound connectors.
