Get Organized Just Right Cord Control Kit: OK. Finally Julie will admit it! I have chaos in my life in a "secret place" and I bet you do too! With the amount of computer equipment I have in my office the "one" place you don't want to look -- is behind the workstation! It's total dis-organization -- no matter how much I untangle cables as I install new equipment!! Why, it's "cable city U.S.A." and it drives an organized person even crazy! Ugh! Recently, I upgraded my phone system and voice mail system. It was a total nightmare! Whew! I could have sworn all my cables and wires led to know where. Not to mention the amount of times I disconnected the wrong phone line in the process. Now I'm considered by my peers to be "technically enlightened" and 11 years in MIS may have had something to do with that. Yet the bottom line is, even in Corporate America we just "snipped" the cables and laid fresh ones during upgrades, because it was easier than tracing an origin and termination! The home office is a completely different animal -- yet it's still a beast! Enter: Just Right Cord Control Kit!! Now, I had heard of this nifty office gadget and I was curious. So I contacted the manufacturer to do a product review. You've seen the Cord Control Kits advertised -- yet I want to tell you first hand the babies are little angels in disguise! The Just Right Cord Control Kit holds 40% more cables and cords and suits the moderate office just fine. The Just Right Cord Control Kit is 8' in length with a 1 - 1/4" diameter. There are great accessories to boot! Color coded labels, reusable speedwraps and tie mounts! A Professional Organizers dream come true! Yet wait. There's more! The Cord Control kit comes in Extra Long and Big Tube versions too to meet anyone's needs! You have to give it a shot to believe it! I'm soooooo excited about this product and I know you will be too! The Cord Control Kits range in price from a mere $12.95-$18.95. They come in black, grey or white. (I recommend the black!). Accessories range from $2.95 - $4.95 -- such a steal to have piece of mind when you have your next upgrade and wrestle with the cable nightmare behind your workstation! The Cord Control Kit works great for stereo equipment too. Visit the website and stock up!!! Or contact Get Organized at (408) 438-0259 ...and tell them you want to SORT IT out with your cable madness! |
