Old and trodden (like me): my current daily driver, a 1994 Lexmark Model M (will be very soon rotated over with a battleship, though). And this time, cleaned up before being photographed! (like... uh... me)

Shiny and beautiful (like my niece): a Varmilo Sakura I bought for her 19th birthday.

I went quite over budget for her new keyboard, but I don't care. I hope she'll appreciate it as much as I expect her to. :-) And if it turns out she doesn't like it, my mother has claimed dibs on it. :D

Nice to see it looking nice and clean!

Will you be keeping the SSK? And do you have any plans for it? I'm considering plasti dipping mine

Interesting. Be sure to post it if you do go through with it.

Also I wouldn't have any shame in rocking a pink keyboard like that. Your niece I am sure will cherish this gift for years to come.

This SSK is NOT going anywhere (other than the closet in this very room, that is). I started using it because of the convenience of having the mouse closer to my right hand, something that I may or may not end up missing when I use the battleship; it's a safe bet, then, to think that I may rotate it back frequently (unless I, instead, opt for the OTHER SSK... which will be back in my possession soon, too).

I won't be plasti-dipping the SSK, though. I just un-dirti-dipped it! :mrgreen:

That's what I'm counting on! :D

She has mentioned several times she wants a pink computer, but that proved to be a bad idea (there ARE pink laptops, but they're all cheap and underpowered). So, instead, we'll be getting her a proper laptop, and I'm getting her this this keyboard (and a pink mouse... actually, a pink! mouse).

I'll call this a complete success if she likes the keyboard best of all. :-)
