Had a bit of a session with the label printer last night, so no getting cables confused when I come to plug something in :)

Are you sure that you have enough connectors and cables?

I have room for more...

Sadly I have a lot of kit that uses unique connectors. For example, the Mattel Aquarius (MAQ) and VCS (Does VCS and 7800) look the same, but are wired differently. That was annoying.

But they are all machine specific so I need all of the different types for all of the different machines I might want to put in the 'hot' area where I tend to switch machines out.

Right you are.

I have several large boxes full of such odd wired/connected PSUs and video leads...You can never have enough leads, as I always like to tell MrsBomberMillzy :D

Am I the only one here whose label printer has a label on it that says "LABEL PRINTER"? :lol:

You've got to be sure you know what you're holding right...

I love my label printer, one of the most useful things I've bought. Mine is a green 'Gardening Edition' just the same as any normal one but green ! No special plant icons or fonts.

When you need to bring order to chaos, break out the label printer :lol:
Mine does not have a label on it as it's stored in the (for once) useful packaging, but the PSU does :D

Oh, I feel a printing session coming on. Light switches On/Off :lol:

This sort of stuff goes on a lot round my way:

And I'm also fond of labeling my STs underneath with their spec so I don't have to mess around opening up to check :)
