                            Why bother? By the time it gets filthy enough to be really annoying, it's obsolete and in need of an upgrade anyway. The cable tangle does have to be kept straight, though. If it gets too messy, you can experience occasional data loss. The zeroes are nice and smooth, and go around sharp bends without trouble. But the ones are all sharp edges, and tend to get hung up on the turns in badly kinked cables.
