Re: Cable Ties

"How about modifying a beautifully, waxed-thread, laced bunch of cables for real frustration."

The real frustration was threading the sodding things. I usually bled profusely all over my telco lacings and was profoundly grateful for being able (allowed) to use zipties in the mid 80s. Velcro bindings came (much) later and there was great rejoicing (as long as people didn't cut them exactly to length for the original bundles, which they usually did)
