all the above is fine, but I still have this problem when someone comes up with an idea and I try to visualise it – because its Rob’s idea, its *him* that appears in my imagination, standing in the shower, soap on a rope around his neck, suds everywhere, sporting a rather large windows tablet edition waterproof showerputer … im sure Rob will look rather fetching in the magazine adverts if the product ever comes to fruition …

Yeah, every month – whether I need it or not. 😉

Hey this is all bogus. You shower, aren’t you English.

I think Darren’s right… if I could write them down, the ideas wouldn’t come at all.

Realistically, you’d want the machine for outside the shower too, which means that when you were in there, you’d have an idea, only to think “Oh, the whiteboard PC is in the office….”

And I did mention that you’d need a timer on the shower…

only problem with being able to do all that kinda stuff in the shower is that you’d stay in the shower for longer, and the rest of us would have harsher water restrictions!

take the tablet pc out and connect it to your network to print stuff 😛 As soon as you put it online, its all over 😉

My theory is that it is your sub-conscious taunting you. 🙂

It’s been working on these ideas all night and only shows them to you when it knows you can’t do anything about them. If you put a tablet PC in the shower the ideas wouldn’t come.

you scare me rob – definetly no webcam please 😉

my only concern is that you live in the dryest state in the dryest continent on the planet – would having a tablet-pc in the shower contribute to saving water ? (hint – dont load civilisation on it …)
