June 1, 2007, Newsletter Issue #92: Universal Remote Controls
1
Tip of the Week
While you are thinking of eliminating cable clutter, you might want to consider eliminating remote control clutter, too. There's nothing more daunting than a coffee table full of remote controls.
A universal remote control controls all of your electronics. It replaces all the factory-issued remotes that come with your technology and gives you the convenience of controlling them all with one device. However, not all wireless systems may be compatible with a universal remote control. Manufacturers know this and often provide a list of brand names and models which can be programmed.
However, there are some drawbacks to the universal remote. A universal remote may only offer you basic functions for each technology, as opposed to the more complex functions individual remotes can offer. Also, if you lose battery power and you have, say, four different technologies programmed into your remote, you may have to reprogram them all.

Routing cables and cords
Running cables from your computer to a nearby printer or other peripheral is much easier if you use cable clips, saddles, or clamps. Using wire organizers to route your cables where you want them keeps everything clean and keeps your employees safe. Cable Clips can be quickly installed to organize and label up to twelve wires or cords neatly. Some high quality name brands include Belkin, CB and Hellerman Tyton.
