Oooh a Cosmos, I am so gonna get one of those babies.

Yep...pretty nasty, which is why I want to get it better organized to make it easier to clean.

I've got a great tip.  Great for me anyway.  Wire Mold.  Learn it, live it, love it.  http://www.wiremold.com/publigen/

Nice, my mom wants to do something like that.

And an anchient power strip

that molding is pretty good to use, but for me it won't really work to well. plus no can seeit unless you look

ignorance is bliss??

Got rid of the issue of leads all over the place by getting a laptop and a wireless printer, wireless external drive for backups, wireless mouse and finally a wireless router

Now i can just sit on my sofa and do all the things in comfort that i used to have to do at the desk. Plus i have no wire issues at all as most of the drives etc are all inside my cupboard under the stairs.

Except for one thing:

THE ALL POWERFULL POWER ADAPTER WIRE PLUG

I have a laptop with Wireless/Wifi networked peripherals, and Bluetooth every thing else. Only one power cord for the Laptop. Will up a Pic as soon as I clean my work area..

Nope. I charge up the battery during the day when i am at work. Bag and lead are behind said sofa so both are out od sight. Battery life on the laptop tends to be round the hour and a half even when playing GCII. If it does run low i just grab the lead and run it round the edge and into the machine. I can cope with one cable once in a while

WOW! What butt-ugly cable setups.

But, I can't say mine is any better.

Unless you want to make pretty, you just run the cables to the outlets as you hook them up and make do. Seems like that is what most of us do.

And really, how often do you need to trace or change a certain cable anyway? And if you bundle them all together, then you have to unbundle them to find that certain one.

And bundling has its own disadvantages. If one is damaged and has a short, being in a tight bundle will only make it more likely to cause a fire.

oh, you mean outside my computer?

Ha, yes, those *other* cables. Inside the case would be another thread.

I can't take a pic right now, no flash in this stupid phone, but it's similar to this. .. and my power pack is almost 2 feet long.

hsy tails, i see you have neat cableing there mine makes a rats nets look good

harpo

lol harpo, I've actually tidied it up a little, though it still ressembles a cluster ball of snakes. ... and the cords do move from time to time..
