Removed an unused spare printer from the wire-maze next to the computer and LO AND BEHOLD, there was an outlet strip behind it all which ran a lamp I'd thought was plugged in, elsewhere, in a totally inaccessible spot, that I've wanted to remove for a long time-- and was thus able to yank the lamp, TOO. Then I reallocated the outlet strip to hold a bunch of unwieldy transformers that had been cluttering up an extension cord and eating up a lot of UPS space, and yanked THAT, so now I have a nice small lamp with a nice down-pointing shade for the DR table, where Hardi sits to do bills, etc., and a nice long, dark-colored extension cord for it that can be run safely and invisibly to power our table; the DR is an extremely light-challenged room. It's pine-paneled, which absorbs light, and has no overhead fixture, so this lamp will join the 7 other table lamps and 5-bulbed floor lamp already in there. (I kid you not.) We only eat in there for "special" occasions, but it IS nice to see Hardi's great cooking when he treats me and gets out the silver, etc.

And TWO empty slots on the UPS.
