I have a Brother P-Touch for labeling. I love this thing! Cost about $80but has many uses. You can buy the labels in all sorts of sizes and colors.And for the ultra-cheap mult I use these Headphone type splitter jacksbut with the mono plugs. You just plug the single end into a jack and youhave two outputs instantly. You can move them around at will and they arefairly low profile. And did I say cheap!. Charles.

Damn--you're super organized! I've been usingthe 3M Post-It correction tape
for labeling things, but it doesn't stick for very long. I've been
considering buying a label-maker. I'd do the Avery labels, butthey may
stick ∗too∗ well, and I'm restless, always moving things aroundin the
patchbay every few months.

But thanks for the tips (especially for the backs of the 'bays)!
