The MBR Condom Works!!!

[launched]

A little story for Y'all:

I had just sat down with my MBR, a little drinky and a big smile on my face. Top quality indie music was about to be created. The phone rang, and as I got up to answer it I knocked my drink over. A semi-direct hit on the MBR.  

I didn't panic, because it's not the first thing I've soaked before (Microsoft training seminars are my favorite - Can't remember how many of their laptops I've drenched...).

The first thing I did was put a paper towel over the top - With the condom on, the liquid pretty much rolled off and only a few drops remained on the screen and mic slots. Then I peeled it off and everything was dry as a bone inside.

I don't think much if any liquid got in the mic slots - There were a couple beads suspended over the top plastic plate which I dabbed off with a paper towel. I then checked with a magnifying glass and it looked dry in there. We'll have to see how that goes...

Anyway, a measly $15 investment saved my ass. All those buttons would have been completely drenched, resultantly ruining the device. I'm rinsing off my condom right now, and will be slipping it back on ASAP!

I feel gooood!!!

I'll have to admit I did panic again - Sometimes you don't know what you have until it's gone!!

I'm letting my mic hole dry some more before I turn it on, so probably no music machine tonight

And yes, it does feel less sensitive with the rubber on, but this young boy's life would have been ruined without it

I just got a new MBR and this is one accessory that I bought.

It will be installed today!!



I still say its kinda like washing your feet with socks on, though!!

I ended up getting one, and I've been pretty happy with it so far.

One complaint, though: the 3.5mm jack is less accessible - most plugs won't fit all the way in...now keep it clean, fellers...  

I suppose I could do some slicing with an Xacto knife to make it more accessible. Wish I didn't have to do that...

somebody has to explain hic to me. When I get called a hick.... I go straight to fight mode, thus proving them right.
