It really dosen't need to look pretty to work, but it does help. That would "pass tech"'

Two of them are loose and the third needs to be rerouted. Make sure you fold over the twisted end so you won't get gouged by it in the future. 6394492-P6070020.JPG (45 downloads)

I wonder what percentage here even bother or admit they don't SW. Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.
