Hardly anything except Macintoshes had USB back then. PCs were

But still can't seem to use many USB cam's and WiFi devices for some
reason?

And how would you directly connect your parallel-less Mac to a
parallel only and perfectly useable HPLJ4 etc?

*We* still have the choice ... built in ... (well, just about [1]) ;-)

And Appletalk / LocalTalk as nice and universal wasn't it. I think
Dads' old AppleWriter is currently languishing in his garage because
even his eMac wouldn't talk to it? Could have talked to it via serial
I suppose (does the eMac have a serial interface) and that's always
nice and easy to wire up isn't it?

Centronics interface, plug it in yer Mini Computer, SPARC, PC, Atari
and I dare say many others, what 'else' used LocalTalk?

All the best ..

still use their big / fast / expensive parallel only Lasers.
