Keeping radiation of my MacBook

ok, i'm having a cancer radiation treatment next week that requires me to be away from my family for a week. with this type of radiation i will be emitting levels of radioactivity that can be harmful to children but not technically high enough to admit me into isolation (in many areas it is but not here) and i have three small children including a newborn. i'm spending a week in a hotel and will absolutely climb the walls if i don't have my lifeline to the outside world. i'm supposed to frequently wash my hands, wash sheets and clothes everyday and (most humiliating) sit while going #1 so as not to "splash". with all of those precautions i'm wondering if there's anything i can do short of wearing gloves to keep any normal level of perspiration from my hands off of my keyboard. is there any sort of cover made to go over the macbook keyboards that anyone knows about? i've haven't been able to find any myself. also, if anyone knows, will the radiation i'm emitting be dangerous the the computer itself?

I don't believe the amounts of radiation you'll be emitting will be anywhere near enough to harm a computer, but the product I mentioned will help in keeping your hands clean. You'll be able to remove the cover and wash it off periodically, too.


Good luck with your treatment!

I have absolutely no clue who you are, but felt compelled to tell you that I hope your treatment goes well!

good luck with your treatment - hope all goes well...

check out iskin for your keyboard.

you may also just want to invest in a cheap usb corded (just to save money) mouse that you just throw away after you're done.


[edit] sorry surfwax! didn't see you had the link already - good job! [/edit]
