We have several things (phones, computer, DSL modem, mysterious musical doohickeys) that have cords. They keep getting tangled up. Everything I've seen to deal with the cord problem (like these products) seems to assume that the piece of equipment with the cord is stationary, and that the cord needs to be clipped into place or coiled with other cords. Ours are not. DH re-arranges the studio equipment with every project, we move the phone around, bring out the fax machine sometimes and then put it back, switch the modem cable from one computer to another, etc. Commonly heard around our house: "Can you please hand me the laptop from where you're sitting on the other side of the room? Oh, but keep the ethernet cable in it, I need the internet."
Obviously, what we need most is wireless everything. Cordless phone, wireless internet, wireless everything else-- DH already bought a pair of wireless headphones because the ones with cords always break when he dives under the desk while wearing headphones in order to make an adjustment to the synthesizer he's using. But right now, we can't afford the extra $200 or so it would cost us. Until then, any ideas?
