Cable Confusion

Just when I thought I was doing well, I manged to fill 3 boxes with surge protectors, cables, and extension cords. This is rather alarming, as everything in those 3 boxes was being used. The next step will be to reduce the number of gadgets.

Step one involves selling a computer and getting down to 2. The need to run multiple operating systems and to have a hot backup compels me to own multiple computers. However, the third (a Linux desktop) can be retired. Joining the desktop in retirement are a 19" LCD monitor, keyboard, mouse, and a KVM. That's one box of cords eliminated.

I really would like to retire my printer. But alas, that remains a dream. Paper is still prevalent in today's world.
