Recently, in order to get a bit more room on my desk, I rearranged my computer network so that all the peripherals would go on my lovely wife's desk rather than on mine. Her desk is about 4 times the size of mine to begin with. But first, I had to get some more room on the desk. There was the problem of this old Mac computer taking up space. We bought it in 1998 and it still ran fine. Unfortunately, most of the internet browsers that would run on it tend to crash a lot due to a lack of compatibility with current web standards. But it had served us well for a number of years. I wanted to give it to a good home. So it went on Craig's list for $5. Basically I was trying to avoid a trip to the dump.
After no bites for a couple of days, I finally got an email. I arranged for the guy to pick it up. He showed up in an AT&T service truck. He worked for them and kept old computers running for fun and occasionally donated them to his church for various functions.
So with more room on the desk, I drew up plans for how the new arrangement would all look. The most important thing was to figure out how to accommodate all the little black power converter boxes on the power strip. Here's the layout:
And here's how it all looks,
and here's my more roomy desk ready for my new hobby of building little electronic thingys.
Don't ask me why I have so many printers. Suffice it to say that they practically give them away and rob you blind when you try to fill them with ink.
