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 :|

perhaps :)

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