So far, I'm exceedingly happy with my MBP 15.4" purchase (despite the $2000+ pricetag!).

I do miss my docking station from my (gag) Dell laptop as it was neat and clean at the office. After searching for a cable minder, I saw some home made solutions and blatantly copied them.

Mine, however, has a trade name. If any of you steal this trade name, I'll crawl through this monitor and spill molasses on your keyboard :Evil:

My cable invention thing is called the Cordinator. Not "Coordinator", but "Cordinator". Get it?

Make sure you don't have any kids or pets wandering around behind your desk! :) Nice setup.

Regards.

I think I'd put some rubber grommets between the cords and your cordinator.
The idea is great though.

That thing stapled/nailed into the desk? I'd find that a bit tough to do since my desk is made of steel and glass, but nice job.

For as "wireless" as these Macs are mine sure has a lot of wires hanging out of it. ;) I have every port but the network and mic occupied when I'm at home!

Cordinator eh? Does it find Sarah Connor?

My desk was recently a mess - now it's nice and simplistic, just the way it should be. All that's on it are my speakers, my external HD, my MB and my Homer Simpson toy.

What did the Cordinator say when somebody asked it where it would be staying?

I'll be (in the) back..... of the desk (said in your best Governator voice)

OK. Bad joke. :Lips-Are-Sealed:

Good idea. I just punched them with a hole punch, so they are kinda sharp. I think I even have some grommets laying around....
