Luckily much of it has moved on to use the various sizes of USB, but some companies still use proprietary shapes. I made use of the metal case on the computer to organize thing...

A friend showed me years ago how she uses empty tp rolls as cable wraps. I have liked them for that since, I find them easier to work with than velcro, zip-ties or twist ties. If you don'...
