    Thanks to all who responded on the List and privately with suggestions on
    securing entertainment devices on board. Ideas ran the gamut from placing
    the units in cutouts in the bulkhead to screwing the TV and VCR to shelves.
    While all of the ideas have merit, none so far will solve my particular
    problem. However, by combining some of the ideas, I may be able to have my
    cake and eat it too: the units secured while underway, and freeing up
    valuable cabin sole space under some shelves or a swivel unit to build a
    desk for the computer. I will have to spend some time staring at the space
    available to come up with the best solution. I'll drop a note on the List if
    I come up with anything worth reporting.

    It was interesting to read that Zeke Anderson on Texas Cookin' had his TV
    fall and die during his recent voyage, precisely the situation I am trying
    to avoid. Once, I forgot to move the TV onto the cabin sole before getting
    underway, and it fell off the entertainment center, but thankfully did not
    quit working. Just pure, dumb luck!

    Cheers,
