Reminds me of a picture I saw at school the other day. In the IT office 
where the laptops are stored there is a nice sign showing the does and 
do nots. One of the pictures had a big red cross through it, it was a 
power pack with the cord wrapped around it. The correct was was a 
picture with the cord neatly coiled up next to the power pack ;)
