The first paragraph sounds familiar. Liz complained about the black cable
snaking along the landing -- even though she finally got email and remote
printer access out of it -- because it was "ugly black" RG58, as she put
it. She wasn't at all impressed with a bright blue AUI drop cable paired
with bright yellow thick ethernet. I just thought she'd be pleased with
something prettier...

You guys are both lucky. I inherited 600' of
_bright orange_ (day-glo)
10Base2 cable that my wife will barely allow in the *garage*...
Oh, my parents (who own the house that's full of my little collection)
prefer bright cables as they're less likely to trip over any temporary
cabling I happen to have plugged together...
