Before and After pics of my last cleaning spree in my "lab"..
(It was much worse before the "before" pic, but posting that would have required me to add a CW, I think..)


"Before" picture: A messy desk: From left, a black desktop PC (a 386), on top of it a open benchtable build with a dual Penitum CPU motherboard and various expansion cards. In the middle a display, to the right another open benchtable with no board installed. The desk is extremely cluttered with RAM sticks, various tools, paper stickers, various bits and bobs, scissors, cables and whatnot.

"After" picture: Same as above, but all the clutter is gone, revealing a black desk, a white keyboard, a white and a black mouse, and not much else. The screen shows a NetBSD desktop with Windowmaker.

      There was a point at which I saw no end to this project, and that was indeed a possible end result.

      Now I'll just sit here and look at it (and post about it) and see how long it can stay this way .. :P

        @ltning I could do that, it would just make the floor unusable.

        Great job!

          Thank you kindly. Also for making me snort coffee.
          I did receive some thinly veiled complaints about the (lack of) floor from others who use the space over the last few weeks.

                It's about the only policy I comply with .. And only temporarily. :P
