I thought when I moved from my Dell XPS tower to an iMac, my computer cord mess would resolve itself.

In the 50′s, we had the nuclear family, 2.3 children that were always successful at school, a dog who always caused enough problems to be noticed but never anything that would make you lose your smile, a successful husband, and a wife who always had dinner ready with the latest and greatest meal.

It’s amazing to watch!
This is so cool!
