Yep, USB hardware has been pretty much ubiquitous for quite a while.

Ignoring the "serious" bit for a moment, there are a lot of machines out
there that still do not support their USB hardware. The installed base
of Windows NT is still fairly large, and it's totally unsupported. We're
still running it on all our desktop PCs (except the ones that run Linux,
but average users aren't using those) at work, and it won't be reaplced
until the hardware becomes to old to keep using. Win2k/XP just don't
offer anything that's even close to compelling enough to justify the
cost of an upgrade.

Net access is probably more common than USB, IMO. Though maybe not by
much.
