  Sure it is.   Just not on the motherboard.   Really, it's not all that
difficult to plug in a $5 USB<->serial adapter.

Who the hell says terminal programs are hard to find?   GNU Screen can
be a terminal emulator, along with minty, HyperTerminal, putty   the
list goes on and on...

  I've heard it a lot.   It's just the Windows people.   "Terminal
programs are EXPENSIVE!"   No.   Idiots.   Go get a grownup OS and leave
Windows for the videogames.
