I thought I'd post about this as it may help someone. I spent most of my day today,
Sunday, sorting and marking power cords.
It may seem irrelevant to some but for me, it is very relevant and something I should
have done long before now.
I do have various tablet and laptop cases.....too many actually. The problem arises when
time moves forward and things become mis placed.
Some power cords do come with the manufacturer/computer name. DELL for example is
very good about that.
In 2011 near Christmas, I purchased a little Acer notebook. The price was very good and
I thought it might come in handy, especially when traveling. I received it, played with it
for awhile and then placed it in a little purple case. Over the course of a few months, in
and out of it's case a few times for my use. By Spring of 2012, I could not locate the power
cord. Hunt as I may, from time to time, I could not locate the power cord. My lonely little
purple Acer notebook sat lonesome in it's purple little case.
TODAY IS THE DAY, I said to self, I shall hunt to no ends to locate the power cord.
Finally, after attempting various cords with no luck......I went online to see if I could do a
search and find out what the power cord looked like. That did help.
Believe it or not, I located the power cord, in a shoebox. Why oh why power cord were
you in the shoebox? No answer.
FOUR YEARS my little Acer notebook power cord was doomed to loneliness inside a shoebox....
whilst it's companion existed in a dark purple material of nothingness.
LO N BEHOLD, shall NEVER happen again.....says I.
Out with the RED color SHARPIE'S !!!
Hence, all electronic puter power cords are now marked to their companions.
The red marker is not stand out ish which is what I preferred but you could of course use a
white marker.
