Hey, how do we know what the ball of cable looked like BEFORE the new servers? Maybe they did un-snarl it some. (Just speaking from personal experience with cable snarls.) ____________

	Wow you must have the same software that they use on those CSI shows, where they use the output from a low resolution camera to enhance the face of the criminal from the reflection in a window! *:^) Or maybe just good photoshop skills? Cute. ____________

	With the speed of the new servers, the cabling strung straight out would cause the flow of data to overheat and melt the cables. Leaving some twists and bends helps to govern that flow and preserve the cable's integrity. Think of it as electronic speed bumps.

	With the speed of the new servers, the cabling strung straight out would cause the flow of data to overheat and melt the cables. Leaving some twists and bends helps to govern that flow and preserve the cable's integrity. Think of it as electronic speed bumps. Many years ago, as a junior test engineer, I was chastised for neatly wrapping analog signal cables into a nice neat coil. Apparently a random signal through this perfect coil will induce voltages in the adjoining wires at regular intervals, producing a false repetitive signal. The old-timer tech took my neat coil, lifted it several feet in the air, and flung it on the floor. He walked away saying "that's how you do it.". Moral: neat cables could simulate a false ET signal. Keep up the good work, guys. ____________

Keep up the good work, guys. About 30 years ago or so......as a kid. Dad granted me the use of our old 'Voice of Music' console radio. It was in the basement, so he thought it safe. I, however, wanted to play records on it. The turntable was in the upper level. Now, this would seem to be a simple problem. A few hundred feet of shielded cable. Still with me? I had no shielded cable. However, what I DID have was several thousand feet of simple telephone wire which had been scrapped from another project. So, like an idiot (or not so), I proceeded one night when mom and dad were off on walkabout, I proceeded to take one pair of the tphone wires and carefully start to wrap the third around the two. Thus, making a shielded cable. This took many hours of course, but when Dad got home, he was insanely angry that I was playing his records upstairs. Only mildly less so when he understood how I engineered it. ____________ ****** "Ask not, what your kitty can do for you. Ask what you can do for your kitty." As it is kitten, so shall it be done.
