AF, while we don't have to go as far as Mick Loney does in the post Ray links, it does give a rather extreme example of what a trivial problem technically cables and wire are. You might also be interested in something I ran into last night during a slow period on the board. Scanning AVS for something interesting I almost passed it up as just a routine skirmish in the wire wars, and much of it was, but found
this post where speco cites a post by dhanson which is one of the best combinations of technical knowledge and just plain common sense on the point that I've ever read.
