That is a GREAT idea! I can see that being used all around our house!! In the areas that they can GET to the box.. I doubt it would keep my little one out (he would lift the box a hundred times a day just to be a pain LOL) SO… You can take velcro & put it around the edges of your box.. THEN only YOU can lift the box kwim? Great idea!! I am going to have my hubby tackle all of ours now lol… That & the slide out bookcase he wants to build.. we will have no issues LOL

Hi James! Wow… I was concerned enough that I had to go look it up. As it turns out from a few sources I found (from Yahoo! answers, so take it as you will), bunching cables IS dangerous, but it is directly related to the current of what is going through the cables, and computers/peripherals/basic electronics aren’t really generating enough current to make a big problem.

One electrician also said that extension cords generate more current, so I could see how an extension cord manual would tell you to be careful.

I thought it was bad to put power cables in a bunch, they like heat up and melt or something.

Not sure how true it was. I remember reading that in the manual for a power extension cord. Don’t use if it’s still rolled up!

This is an excellent idea. My son is always turning of the power strip or um-plugging things. Brad Paper Assistant
