Tagging Cables?

Any ideas on how to tag video cables and the like, so that I can at least identify what equipment they belong to--camcorder, video camera, digital camera, ... or what they are for--USB, serial, null, parallel printer, modem, ...?

You can get self-laminating cable labels from Brady or Panduit that can be printed on an inkjet or laser printer. These labels have a white printable section and a clear plastic "tail" that wraps over the printed section for protection.

Different colors of electrical tape? If you use the cable for something different, you can at least find one end on a device and trace the other end.

Old computers are getting to be a lost art. Here at Uncreative Labs, we 
still enjoy using the old computers. Sometimes we want to see how far a 
particular system can go, other times we use a stock system to remind 
ourselves of what we once had.
