Organize Your Wires

Most of us have wires all over the place. If you're a neat freak, this can be a constant source of aggravation and frustration.

Well, there's a simple way to get them off the floor, off the monitor, and generally out of the way.

A woodworking tool known as a 'clamp' (a spring type thing for holding wood together, SIMILAR to huge spring clips for paper), selling for anywhere from $0.99-2.00 at Home Depot, works fantastically well for this. I am in the process of moving around (yet again) and until things are situated right (with networks, attachments, scanners, etc.) the wires are in the way.

I just took one of those big clamps and clamped it to a shelf on the desk. There is plenty of room behind the grasping edge of the clamp and the jaws to fit a bunch of wires. I used a total of 4 clamps and all the wires are up and out of the way.
