were ribbon cables designed like that for any particular reason? was it just the manufacturing process of insulating cables in a flat ribbon was easier than doing something else?

i remember at one point that I was able to buy ribbon cables that were separated into strands of 3-4 wires so you could move them around easier. cant figure out why nobody put them in other configurations.

Even better was the ribbon cable origami that people did to keep poo poo out of the way.

i had some clips that let me attach ribbon cables flat against my case so "optimize air-flow", and did all the weird 45 degree angle folds to make it look clean inside.

def don't miss that.

oh duh i forgot about the connectors.

yeah that makes sense, takes zero skill to do it so it's probably extremely cheaply automated
