I bought a really cool wire rack for my computers so they don't have to sit all in a jumble of wires on long desks. I can actually reach them, the keyboards don't get all tangled up and i can see all the monitors from one position.

I used plastic tie wraps to keep the wires together for each machine. Don't make the mistake of tying them ALL together in one big roll because if you have to remove one set of cables, you have to untangle the whole thing. Just use the ties and secure each computer's nest of cables to the posts or shelves.

I didn't know it could get this good. I would say it is nostalgic, reminding me of my more organized youth...but..well, I wasn't very tidy then either. I am one of those people who leaves the empty toilet paper spool on the roller in the bathroom and sits the new roll on the tank lid!

Many groups who have missions or other types of work in third world countries especially have the need for a typewriter that requires no power source.

Only two companies that I have found still makes them. Royal makes the MS25 typewriter that is lightweight at 13 pounds. It is not all that expensive at under a hundred bucks. In comparison, the only other models they have are the Linea models which are all being discontinued since they are sold so infrequently. The Lineas are heavy and huge and would not be much fun to lug around the jungles. They would be useful for those who want to use them at home and don't have to carry them around.

The MS25 has been recently upgraded to include two international keys on the keyboard. It is hard to get ahold of one, since everyone seems to be buying them all at the same time. Best thing I guess, I to place an order for one and let them come into the warehouses, since they sell pretty much as quickly as they come in. They are definitely worth the wait if you have the specific need for a manual typewriter.
