It doesn't bother me that much: I haven't used a floppy in two or three years. I have ISDN at home: it's way faster than a floppy ;^).

I'm replacing my aging home PC with an iMac (look at my email address: I
can get one dirt cheap!) and I'm wondering if I can use it to pilot my
trusty HandyBoard. Anybody have any experience in this area? I'd like to
throw away the PC...

The iMac has no serial port, only USB connectivity but there is third party
USB to Serial connectors available
(http://www.keyspan.com/products/USB/adapter,
http://www.momentuminc.net/products/uConnect.html or
http://www.griffintechnology.com/imac/iport.html). I just like to know if
anybody ever tried one of those thing. Or if there is any plan to upgrade
the handyBoad to USB ;^)
