Be sure to review your PC compatibility first. From lego.com:

"Minimum System Requirements: Windows® 95/Windows 98/ME/2000/XP, Pentium® II
233 MHz processor, 32MB RAM, 80MB available hard disc space, Windows® 98
compatible mouse, Sound Blaster 16™/Windows compatible sound device, 8x
CD-ROM drive, 800 x 600 SVGA display with 1MB RAM in high color (16-bit),
one available 9-pin RS-232 Serial Port, 28.8 KBPS Modem (optional),
Netscape® Navigator or Microsoft® Internet Explorer (optional)."

Yeah, my computor is a Pentium 3, 11 Gigabites hard drive, etc.  Only, how
do I figure out if my computor has a serial port, without hauling the
computor from its corner and unwiring it?

If it's a desktop machine, you most likely have COM port.  The question is,
do you have a *free* port available.  Have a look at the back of your PC and
look for a DB9 or DB25 male connector (with pins).  It may be labeled IOIO.
