Also a newbie here ... I just tried the balling method in 12/2007 for the first time. I was really impressed at how easy it was and how little space it took. The bulbs just seemed to point outwards at you go, which is nice.
It seems to me that one other benefit of this method, in addition to storage advantages would be how easy it will be unroll (the ball) onto a tree (going round and round) ... without having to worry about the remaining wire getting tangled up or stuck in the process.
I also like using the plastic bags for maintaining separating, but it seems a little redundant when using the ball method.
I like the ideas of a way to store icicles, because I think those are a different beast, since maintaining shape and proper hang would nice nice. Maybe just stringing them up high (between hooks in the garage would work best?) ...
