Don't throw it out. Some day you may acquire a plotter, or something like that, that still uses a serial interface.
If I'd kept all the electronics and cables that I'd had "in case I might need it some day", my basement would be full of old stuff, 386 desktops, 486 servers, SCSI hard drives, EISA controllers, etc. I had some old AST Rampage boards I had received back in 1988 "just in case" I might need them. I would guess that if one were to acquire a device that needed a serial cable, one would still not be difficult to find.
