Remember serial ports?

I need to connect to the serial port of a machine at home. Now if I was at work, I would simply connect it to our serial port console server. But at home? I haven’t had a laptop with a serial port in ages. The last time I needed one I bought a USB<->Serial adaptor.... which I can’t find right now.

UGH!

They have become as hard to find as those Mac to PC monitor jack adjusters.

I think I had one at one point but gave it away with the laser printer I bought it for. Speaking of the comic-book affect with technology: I bought that laserprinter for $30, but the cartridges cost $75.
