1. In combination:
- (1) A computer having walls bounding a compartment disposing therein of computer-operating means, edges on said walls bounding an access opening into said compartment for maintenance of said computer-operating means, a closure for said opening having an edge in a plane of a said compartment wall subtending a 90 degree angle in cross section; and
(2) supported on said computer access opening closure a storage basket comprising front, rear, opposite sides and bottom wire-constructed rectangular walls interconnected into a rectangular configuration to bound an objects-storing compartment of said storage basket, said wire-constructed rectangular rear wall comprised of a spaced apart array of vertically oriented plural struts of a selected vertical height, at least two spaced apart first connectors each of a height corresponding to said height of said struts connected to a cooperating strut adjacent to and slightly inwardly of said wire-constructed rear wall and for the entire extents of said heights of said connectors and said struts, on each said connector a top and bottom laterally extending leg of a specified length adapted to hold said wire basket rear wall in a clearance position from a computer wall and in parallel relation thereto, a second pair of connectors each consisting of respectively a vertically and horizontally oriented body presenting third connector surfaces subtending a 90 degree angle therebetween having an operative position connected to a cooperating top leg of a said strut, and permanent-attaching adhesive applied at the interface of said third connector surfaces and said 90 degree angle configurated edge of said closure, whereby said wire basket has proximity for convenient use on said computer.

Abstract
For an active computer work station at which discs are used to operate the computer and documentation produced as the work product thereof, the use of a storage basket of wire construction material permanently attached to a maintenance access opening closure of the computer housing so that disposal of the basket/closure assembly, if need be, is without significant financial consequence and, prior to disposal, the stored discs, documentation and other such sundries are within the convenient reach of a user of the computer.

2. For the convenience of a user at a work station equipped with a keyboard display module operated by a computer during which sundries are used for and generated by said computer, the improvement consisting of a method to facilitate the handling of said sundries comprising the steps of:
-
(a) using a computer with operating means in a housing having a removable cover to provide maintenance access to said operating means;
(b) using a keyboard display module;
(c) operatively interconnecting said computer and keyboard display module;
(d) establishing a work station for said operatively interconnected computer and keyboard display module;
(e) attaching with a permanent adhesive a wire basket to said computer removable cover;
whereby for a computer operator at said work station any sundries for operating and generated by said computer stored in said wire basket are within convenient reach.
