There are two types of people in this world : The clickers and the non-clickers.

The non-clickers say 'Oh my god what awful things may happen if I click that' and wring their hands a lot. The clickers say 'oooh, lets see what happens it might be something fun'

It's make your mind up time.

Not a problem to me BUT SWMBO complained of the mess and said she couldn't vacuum the room with all those wires on the floor. All is now installed in ts rightful place within my purpose built work station.
