OK, I’m sat at our desktop typing this, so here goes panning from left to right:
- 2 drive mounting rails from an old server
- 2 dvd cases with home movies of the kids
- 17″ monitor for desktop computer
- stack of CDs in rack (some computer and some music)
- Jo’s digital camera in it’s case
- left speaker for desktop
- port replicator for laptop
- autoloader tape drive for backups with right speaker for desktop on top
- mouse mat with wireless mouse
- surgemaster under monitor power distribution unit with 2nd 17″ monitor for desktop
- 2 stacks of CDs balanced on the corner of the desk
I know I must be the exception and that everyone else’s desk must be less cluttered than mine.
So, what’s on your desk?

well i went to my bestfriend’s place yesterday and spent the night there…came back tonight and all i saw on my desk is the laptop and the jar with pens in it and that’s it….somebody cleaned the mess yesterday
the funny thing is that i didn’t notice anything missing till now
i used to have on the desk:
-external portable hard disk, with its cable
-the iPod with it’s USB cable
-some books (i plan to read them but no time)…
-some papers and this pens jar although all of my notes are saved on the computer…
-lots of cables…that’s what i remember..i had lots of cables i don’t know what they are for
LOL, thanks for your comment nightS. You’ll find what the missing cables were for when you go to plug something in. The question is will you find them?
The stacks of CDs are ones I keep meaning to put away and I’m not sure what half the ones in the rack are, they haven’t been out for ages.

Thanks James,
I thought it best not to go into what was under the desk (or on the shelves just above).
Oh yes, I forgot the keyboard, it is in front of the left screen at the moment.
My miscellaneous cables and junk get stuffed in the top draw under the left side of the desk.

Ian
Hi jmb,
That sounds a lot less cluttered than mine. Mind you, the two 17″ CRT monitors don’t help me; when I run out of other things to spend the money on (does that ever happen) they’ll be upgraded to LCD monitors.
OK, maybe I will mention the shelves. Above the desk are 4 shelves with an A4 scanner, a printer, filing trays with reams of paper and recycled paper for scrap, a rechargeable battery charger, some tapes for the backup drive, a pen pot with pens, pencils, screwdrivers, screws and keys, more CDs (blank and software), a paper trimmer, a box of floppy discs! and the cradle for my pda.
And within cables length, on the dining room table until I get moaned at, is my negative film scanner.
Regards,
Ian
