Hi Barbara,

How about just using a plastic tie to "roll up" some of the cable
(prefearably near the plug, so that it's hidden), tie it, and you save all
the cutting/replacing plugs?.

In our LRC lab, our cables were too short, because of the location of the
CPU. So we used long cables, and then rolled them up and tied them up when
the distribution of CPU's / monitors changed (also, having the new Dell's
with the headphone hook up at the front helped). If we ever need long
cables again, we can just untie them and unroll some extra cable.
