I'm with you, but the PS2 port was supposed to be part of
computing history by 2000. People are finally starting to build
PC's without floppy drives, so the PS2 ports may be the next to
go....
My one-year old notebook doesn't know neither floppy nor ps2(*). It
still has a parallel-port though.
But it doesn't crash my sound if I plug in and use my various
usb-mouse or gamepads...

(*) Strictly speaking it still knows ps2 because the internal touchpad
is ps2. By removing the module on button-press I can emulate the
windows-function of toggling the touchpad(**).
(**) Touchpads suck!

Wenn man mit Raubkopien Bands wie Brosis oder Britney Spears wirklich
verhindern könnte, würde ich mir noch heute einen Stapel Brenner und
einen Sack Rohlinge kaufen.
