If you rich and successful and you like to take a shower the Aquagate is what do you need. Originally tt’s free-standing shower cabin. But guys from Villeroy & Boch add here a bit high tech.

Once I wrote about cool remote control with LCD touch screen instead of ordinary buttons. That remote controls up to 8 AV devices. LCD Touch Screen 16 in 1 Universal Remote Control can control up to 16 devices: TV, Satellites, Cable TV, VCR, DVD, Tape, Hi Fi’s, CD Players, Radios, MP3 Players, Amplifiers, Digital Recorders and other Audio devices. The remote offers 48 buttons/commands for each device and allows to create 60 macro commands.
The remote comes pre-programmed for easy use. If I understand clearly it can be connected to the PC via USB(?) to update existing and download new IR codes.
The price is very modest. It’s just US$61.24. So, if you have a lot AV devices and want to control them from one remote this is your choice!
