collection organising

OK, current situation: Everything spread to hell and back in several different rooms. Although I do seem to know where things are! Desired situation: Something a little more organised :-) I can't decide whether to try and keep things related to each manufacturer together (hardware, manuals, software, cables, spares etc.), or to keep like objects together (cables regardless of what machine they're for, spares all in one place etc.). Both systems seem to have adantages and drawbacks (obviously there are some size constraints for storage, software I want to keep away from dust, and cables, spare floppy drives etc. might be the same for more than one manufacturer) Any thoughts? cheers Jules ===== Backward conditioning: putting saliva in a dog's mouth in an attempt to make a bell ring. ________________________________________________________________________ Want to chat instantly with your online friends?
