[Electronics-talk] labelling audio cables

[Evelyn Weckerly]

Hi, Louis,

Actually, I appreciate your detailed response. I don't have a lot of 
time to deal iwth this as it needs to go out Thursday and I'm busy 
tomorrow. I will leave the cables attached to their respective 
devices, but as I said in another post, I don't have back panels 
brailled at all and should have done that a long time ago.

Cordially,

EVelyn
