Seriously? Its an all new platform which will only run old programs under emulation, why does one need those things like PS/2 and serial and parallel ports? Apple doesn't have them for 5 years.

Considering the age of the "classic" machines, I would think many users probably have peripherals which they'd like to use with the AmigaOne that require the legacy ports.  Over time, as the user-base begins to take advantage of newer hardware that is compatible with the AmigaOne (which was not compatible with their classic systems), I would expect these ports to eventually fade away.
