Rumour has it that the World Trade Center has 'computer floor' everywhere
on all floors.

Story goes that you can walk down some hallways and feel the floor 'give'
as your scrunch the overabundance of cables back down.  All the changes /
additions / corrections are usually handled by installing a new cable,
rather than tracing/removing the old one.  When a floor is vacated a crew
spends however long pulling out -all- the cables and starting over.
