   i fully understand... you should see the spaghetti nest under this 8 foot long   
   desk i'm using... it has two 6 foot long power outlet bars, each with its own   
   power plug into the UPS... it isn't so bad but it still gets somewhat tangled   
   in there at times when old things are removed and newer ones added... i won't   
   even mention what the back of my large wooden desk with typewriter door and   
   shelf on the left looks like with the several computers, bank of modems and   
   its own UPS :|

   talking to one's self isn't really a serious problem... arguing with one's   
   self and losing is much much worse O:)
