During my current job installing new computers for an insurance company, I've decided that the ease of setting a computer up on a desk is inversely proportional to the price of the desk.

ie, superexpensive big hardwood monstrosity = nearly imposible to run cables to/through

This is what power drills are for.

You just like the phrase 'inversely proportional" don't you..


I do.

Yes, with a hole saw kit and plenty of grommets.

Last time I did one, I didnt even bother to clena up the sawdust, either. ::snicker::

I don't JUST like it.

But I do like it.

That probably would have been frowned upon.

The job always takes twice as long as you estimated.

If you double your estimate, it takes four times as long.

It's true about the huge hardwood desks, though. I have a rather nice chipboard imitation of such a desk, and even planning the cabling out and tucking most of it out of sight still leaves me with a tangle of plastic covering part of the surface.

I think that applies to life in general. The more showy, ostentatious, and status-oriented something is, the less practical or useful it is. Hummer H2's get 6 MPG highway. Male peacock tail feathers make them easier for predators to catch.

Just another of the cruelly delicious ironies of life...
