No CD / DVD drive. No floppy disk drive. No Apple serial port. No SCSI
port.  ;-)

The new iMacs actually have MORE ports than the old ones - the CRT
iMacs only had (from memory) two USB ports and no Thunderbolt /
Firewire ports or SD card slot.

Even in Windoze world few people bother to upgrade very often, hence
all the over-hyped advertising, etc. trying to get Windows XP users to
upgrade.
