Okay! I hear you!

I did not, because of time, express the full extent of the thinking behind my last post. Here it is.

There have been numerous posts about protecting the expensive readers used while reading in the bathtub. And on posts # 2-3-4 of this thread also. I did not want to quote directly but just underline the subject and add just an other thought.

Being a building type of person (sorry I'm not a programmer ), this subject piqued me and I had to find a solution. After seeing that TV in the bathroom it was natural to think of a computer in its place. You can get a very old computer for next to nothing or even have one donated. It does'nt need to be the latest thing because reading text is not something very demanding on it. Next to the screen you also need to put the wireless mouse's sensor or whatever you call it. The one I have is on the end of a USB wire, it's easily installed in a small hole through a wall. You'll have to build a box of shelf behind the chosen wall to house everything. If it's an outside wall forget it, it's a much too expensive proposition. I have a closet behind the shower wall, the perfect setup. Installing a wireless mouse adds the security of not frying the USB port if you drop the mouse in the water. The most expensive part would be the window... and don't skimp on silicone.

Adding up everything, it's a cheaper solution than dropping the reader in the tub. Some of the solutions I've seen were just as time intensive as this one. You also have the added bonus of maybe doing some work there too! Just add a small wireless keyboard.



I forgot the mouse nest on the edge of the tub...
