How can you have just one. Don't you get one with practically every new device?

I keep on in my toolbag, one in my laptop bag, one in my desk at the office, and I leave one hanging on one of the racks at almost every client location lol.

Bingo. Unlike the RJ45-Serial cables, the USB-Serial cables don't grow on trees. I don't need them all the time, but when I do, they're usually being borrowed by someone else, dammit.

Get an airconsole, and tell any one who asks to borrow it to die in a fire.

These are cool - used one the other day at a customer site.  Didn't even notice a delay in typing or anything while I was hooked up wirelessly.

Looks very nice but slightly pricey (not sure if company will expense that :P)

They look cool, but my laptop has no bluetooth, and i don't want to give up my wireless connection when I am using a console port :-(

I still want a million of them.

In related news, my console cable is currently in Switzerland, where my team lead is currently attending a series of meetings. It will return to Texas on Saturday, and back to my possession on Wednesday.
