    Kettle leads!

    Had a bit of a tidy up this weekend. Firstly, I found my HEXUS.jumper:



    Ideal for clearing CMOSes or setting master/slave mode on IDE drives, HEXUS stylee.

    Once I'd finished playing with my HEXUS.jumper, I gasped at the number of kettle leads I have.

    It would seem I have more kettle leads than I do kettles. I have but one kettle. The more mathematically minded of you will have already deduced that i have at least two kettle leads. Luckily I have plenty of PCs and peripherals to plug them into.

    Don't ask me how, but I've collected many, many kettle leads. Some run-through, some dual connector, some foreign!

    Anyway, I thought I'd post a poll to see if I'm the only one with a zillion of the things.

    I've got too many. I think between myself and my music enthusiast housemate we've along the lines of 30+ kettle leads.
