Have you ever done that? Reached under your desk and yanked the wrong plug from your powerstrip?
Here are two simple, cheap (or even free) ways to prevent catastrophe. One is my own... and the other comes from one of my favorite do-it-yourself websites, www.lifehacker.com
Colored Tape to the Rescue: You can use colored tape, or even plain masking tape with a colored dot on it. Tape one piece to the end of your cord near the plug like a little "flag" and write a note or symbol that tells you what's at the other end. "P" for printer; M for modem, C for computer, etc. Now you know which you are pulling before the thing accidentally gets shut off!
Bread Tags as Cord Labels: Use those little plastic tags that hold your bread bags closed to label your cords. I used a fine-tip permanent marker. Here's a link
