Gad Jeff, as long as I've been reading this newsgroup (about 8 years)
your posts are my delight,

you always come up with a good suggestion and the damnest pictures
i've ever seen,

keep up the good work

as to power strips and wal warts, I've had about 30 clients last
winter get new PC's , new TV's and new Refrigerators because of PG&E's
'loose neutral' problem on the north coast,

They had about 6 miles of poles loose the neutral to homes and flat
burnt out everything connected to the AC mains.

oh well , it was money in my pocket also

see ya next time

Incidentally, the secret to successfully interconnecting a mess of
consumer networking boxes is to use very flexible stranded CAT5
interconnection cable. The modem and wireless boxes are so light,
that they slide around on a shelf. The stiff CAT5 wire makes stacking
boxes difficult, but stranded works nicely.

I wallmounted all mine and used custom-made cabling cut to length.

Yeah, 5 months later.

By chance, do you have a picture of your wall full of networking
items, with custom cabling? That's gotta be a bit bizarre and not
entirely wife-approved, or at least it wouldn't be in my house. :-)

For some Linksys devices, see wall mount at:

$25 for 10 of them.

Cut to length wiring is a good idea:
