Judith--yes, there is something, I think it's called a 'power box'. I have one I bought over 10 years ago, it's on my computer at work. That monitor sits on top of the box, but my monitor at home is much bigger and I don't think it would fit. But they are probably made bigger now, too. Now that you mention it, my cords at work aren't nearly the mess they are here at home. I have a 'switch box' for my printers too, and I think you would look in the same place in the catalog for both items, like maybe assessories (?)--Glo ----- Original Message ----- From: Judith To: pctechtalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Sunday, September 07, 2003 2:18 PM Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- Re: Cables and wires just one cord goes down to a surge protector in the wall outlet. It seems to me this unit is something the monitor sits on. --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).
