Right now the apple of my eye – is well – my new Apple. I just bought an iMac desktop with a nice large screen – AND I LOVE IT! So sleek, so modern, so cool….and sooooooo tangled with wires its simply not to be believed.
One of the reasons I’m bringing this up is because I once had a listing with a computer geek who didn’t really understand that having the entire place festooned with wires was NOT going to attract buyers. He thought all the high-speed connections he put in would be a selling point, but in truth, being able to connect to the internet at lightening speed while in the bathroom is just not going to be the thing that clinches the deal. A few weeks ago, that was brought home to me again when showing a house with an office that looked like a rat had built a home there with a tone of excess wire. It’s important that sellers recognize that although we all know there are still a lot of wires attached to computer systems, that have that tangled rats nest prominently visible is probably not the best idea in the world. It looks MESSY and it’s a dust trap besides.
So, I’m rolling up my sleeves and taking control of my own rats nest and trying to organize my computer and it’s wiring so at least I can dust around it. As you can see, I already started with the Velcro, but it is still a mess. But I’m determined! After all, I’m a computer lover with three other loves in my life – three Siberians that SHED. I need to be able to dust around the wires and not let the hair collect.
This is what I am armed with: Cable ties with Velcro, and a couple of Cable Turtles and a couple of mini-Cable Turtles. It’s a work in progress, and here’s hoping I can be an example for my sellers. Hopefully I’ll tame my own rat’s nest before I have to talk to my seller’s about theirs.
