This is a clarification to a previous incident in which I pulled a network
cable out of a Barker dec workstation by mistake.
The decstations have very short keyboard cords. As a result, it is difficult
to use the new keyboard trays without turning the decs 90 degrees on their
anchorpads so there is enough length to place the keyboard in the tray.
In the process of doing this that day, I accidently removed the network cable.
I would suggest this matter be considered (longer wires or something)
sorry for the inconvenience but I don't think it was my fault,
Mike
