Well, don't be so negative, okay? First of all, the current group of 
developers are smart guys. I'm not saying they'll have it tomorrow but they 
may get around to it eventually. And if not, I'm sure someone will pick up 
the ball. Heck, it might even be me.

It might be a good idea for you to ask on this list for recommendations next 
time you need to buy a new PC. Its not difficult to get a PC with a serial 
port. Another suggestion I have is to check used computer stores. You might 
be able to find a slightly older high-end model for cheap there. Of course, 
there is also the option of building your own PC. I built my last two PCs 
myself. Admittedly, that is not for the faint of heart.
