Bill,
I get kind of anal about it the other way. I hate puting kinks in my
cables. I like them to hang loose, and not make any unnatrual bends.
Trouble is I get so many touching the floor, it turns into a mess
anyways.
On my stereo/tv/vcr I don't really care at the moment. All the rca
cables are really cheap, and need to be replaced.
Thats a pretty big shelf you have there, 18 feet deep with 3 foot wheels
:-)
