HI everyone!

I am happy to do this review of my 1987 IBM SSK.

In this video I compare it to a full size IBM model M, and a Dell Logitech Keyboard, and a Filco MAjestouch Convertible.

I also introduce you to my children and my Dell Precision m6800 workstations, talk about Klean Kanteen, Hyrdroflask, and Shockz headphones, and Dell XFR...

You can meet my family a little bit. Take It easy, any questions[youtube][/youtube] let me know in the comments. Thanks for watching : )

Love the smile on your face when you opened it!

These keyboards are great for sure! I got mine in March. photos-f62/lexmark-dell-model-m-cleanin ... 18561.html

BTW, you probably know about this, but Unicomp make some very cool replacement keys for model Ms, and they will work fine on yours, too: http://www.pckeyboard.com/page/category/Buttons

Will you be getting one of the new Model Fs? I know you mentioned it in the video.

Well, the SSK remains a brilliant keyboard in it's formfactor, less so in the well known IBM membrane switch. Good post.
