Thanks to everybody who replies to my question about whether it was safe to rest an iMac on top of a Time Capsule (and unanimously agreed it was a bad idea). The solution to consolidating my desk clutter turned out to be doing just the opposite: resting the Time Capsule on the shoe of the iMac, right below the screen. Works perfectly. I'd been so fixated on the notion of doing it the first way that it had never occurred to me to try the other.--- The group web site is at http://muglo.ca/Welcome_to_Muglo.html Manage your account options at //www.freelists.org/list/muglo
