Add to that, that more and more devices and gadgets have a USB or
IEEE1394 interface, and new laptops have these versatile ports.
BTW, is there *still* any technical advantage of PCMCIA over USB or
1394? (e.g. I know that USB pre 2.0 didn't have DMA and the interrupt
model is inferior. That's why PCMCIA 100BaseT Ethernet cards are
superior to USB<-->Fast Ethernet bridges.)
