Yes... the sitution is like the one you described here in Brazil. Thanks to this list and the help I got here I just contracted an electritian to do things right: the connect the groung wire inthe showers to the ground on the neutral in the frame of the electric company. I am doing the same with the ground wire in computers. The old houses here still have the two holes outlets. I know that things are changing...slowly. Thanks to all of you.
