Richard and I were messing about with that boardroom drop in an attempt to get rid of the best of wires that usually lurked by the wall...
Neither of us was happy with how it turned out and planned to pull it down, only we both had to take off after that library meeting. A pack pole or something might work, but I think a better solution would be to run along the floor and up in the middle of the table. Anything that doesn't result in a nest of wires gets my vote ;) Nathan T.
