So maybe you aren't feeling the power blue/lime green/yellow combo, don't fret, Etsy user pingo can whip up whatever color you'd like. These $15 <a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=11202271" target="_blank">hand-knit power cord covers</a> are designed to fit MacBook's with 70-inch cords, although the artist can create a customized cord cover in any length that you want! And what exactly are their function? To protect, personalize, and add some pizazz to your cord, naturally! I can honestly see myself getting one in white/pink/gray - hmm, I wonder where I got that idea from?!</p> <p><span class="inline left"></span><br /> <div class='gallery_thumbs ' ><div class=title><!-- gallery teaser --><a class=photo-count href='http://www.geeksugar.com/1597944'>View 2 Photos ›</a><!-- /gallery teaser --></div><ul></ul></div></p> http://www.geeksugar.com/1597966#comment geeky crafts laptop cord cover power cord Fri, 02 May 2008 10:14:05 -0700 GeekSugar http://www.geeksugar.com/1597966
