Technology in the Bathroom?

When I move to my new place in a few weeks, I'll have my own private bathroom, used only by myself and when she's around, my girlfriend.

So of course, I'll get to have whatever shower curtain I want. I won't have to deal with my roommate's shampoo, soap, toothbrush, or him stealing my toilet paper.

But it also opens up the possibility of "personalizing" the bathroom with some technology. I remember years ago I had a radio in the bathroom. How many people have a radio or a tv or a computer device of some sort in the bathroom? Or do most people stick to leaving a magazine or book around? I've asked some friends and have gotten mixed responses. Some people feel that music in a bathroom is odd while others routinely take their computers in with them... Has me thinking, and what better group of people to ask about their bathroom decoration choices than a computer forum?
 
I have never had a reason to have my computer in the bathroom
I think I can pry myself away from it for that long

It's nice to have your own bathroom after having roommates. Is this sort of what you're after? :p

It is essential to have music in my bathroom for my shower- morning routine via ipod, my brother brings in his macbook, but just for music during showers, it doesn't seem that odd until you think about it. Next year i live in a dorm so i'll need to make some adjustments.
 
It sounds like a good idea until you drop your iPod in the toilet or use one of the electronics with a wet hand. Not worth the risk IMO.
 
Music would be nice - maybe an Airport express and some speakers, so you can just stream whatever's playing on your computer? That would be my ideal setup. :)
 
Personally I do enjoy having music playing while I get ready in the morning. Right now I have a roommate so I can't enjoy it every morning but when he isn't around I usually crank up the music from my room (right next to the bathroom) and I can hear it pretty well while I get ready.

If it was my own place I would likely install a speaker system in the bathroom that goes back my sound system therefore I could just amplify whatever is already playing. I see no reason to take my computer into the bathroom nor do I want to invest big bucks into some "bathroom" radio system.
 
for me its just a radio/cd player cause i like listening to music while i shower. i think eventually i will put a tv in there for watching sports center in the morning.

An iPhone should fit the bill.
 
When I have my own bathroom, I'll likely have a shower radio in it(hopefully one that can just read from an iTunes home server or something), but otherwise, I won't keep anything in the bathroom.

To go #2, I take my MBP in with my 98% of the time.
