The report highlights that it’s now at the top of my list after troubleshooting more than one PC with its cords tangled with printer, lamp, and other electronic plugs. Cable management used to be one of my lowest priorities.
In a fresh development, also, please vacuum before I come over.). (It is a quiet form of hell, crawling under someone’s desk and finding a rat’s nest.
