"Used string instead of zip ties"/10
I may need to take it down from time to time. Hence the string.
Oops that slipped my mind. Yeah i'll use those. Thanks.
Fwiw I've made the switch to only use Velcro ties. Works better than zip ties especially in places that are hard to reach. If you get the super cheap zip ties, the plastic disintegrates causing it to break apart after a year or so. Or at least in my experience.
Since the Velcro ties are fabric, and they are wider, they are more resistant. I'm actually using them in my crawlspace to hold my Ethernet cable against the joists and works super well. A screw in the tie holds it in place and then I can open and close the tie as I add more cabling.

I don't know dial up internet is very retro.
You're really phoning it in with this one

extra points for including dialing instructions for the young-ins.

Is this one of those phones imitating the old ones?
I've seen a few of those and felt so tempted to install one in my house, just for the fun of, as a conversation starter and for the laughs but then I remembered I don't need a land line.
You can get one that hook up via Blu tooth to cell phones so they just work as a passthrough
Good to know but not really something I want to spend money on. Already have too much junk laying around.
