  • It’s The Little Things In…

    October 9th, 2007 by markdownmom

    Sometimes life seems like the many wires going to our computers:   tangled, confusing, put together in rather a hodge-podge manner.  The technology of today adds a new dimension to our lives and new problems.  An entire new line of furniture has been developed to hide our black boxes and other equipment.  Entertainment centers, armoires, storage units are all in response to incorporating technology into our lives at home. 

    One of the most difficult organizational problems is dealing with all the wires, cables, cords and keeping them organized so that we don’t short circuit our equipment and ourselves.  Like many others, MDM has found that even color coding wires does not eliminate the confusion entirely, but one answer is to group them and attach them to  make them less noticeable, more secure, and less likely to trip over or to snag.

    Now this can be done using garbage bag closures, both wire and plastic, but MDM found these Velcro ®One-Wrap® Cable Straps.  The ones that MDM found were instore at Target® and are made for smaller devices, but you can find many online in varying lengths at Good Buy Guys.com, CyberGuys.com, and even on Ebay

    Because these straps are made from velcro, they wrap back onto itself and can be cut to any length and are reusable.   In various lengths, widths, and colors, these straps are great for cables, crafts, and clutter–its’ uses will only be limited by your imagination.  Such a little thing, but a big problem solver!

    It’s The Little Things In Life That Add Up!
