Sho% a picture mess"8 unorgani<ed %iring %ithin a +reaer. As %hat the pro+lem %ith
the picture is. Then sho% a picture of an organi<ed8 neat +reaer +ox. !xplain ho%
much easier it %ould +e to find %hich %ire "ou needed in this one. !xplain the
importance of eeping the %ires organi<ed8 neat8 and installed correctl".
