Hmm.....&nbsp; and then there are the tools.... and the cats.... and the dishes... and the video tapes.... and the CDs... and the pens and pencils.... paper: blank paper for the printers here or there? Notebooks on top or bottom?&nbsp; Left or right?... OH!&nbsp; NO!!!&nbsp; Somebody moved my PAPERCLIPS!! arrrgh!![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
