The XMIT family grew yesterday evening as XMITjr (son) was born!
MrsXMIT (wife) and littleXMIT (daughter/big sister) are all doing great.
Please forgive any delays in shipping, responses to PMs, etc. in the next couple of weeks.

Probably. littleXMIT plays with a Dell rubber dome keyboard but obviously prefers the Model M. I prefer single key caps as they don't go flying everywhere when she inevitably drops a keyboard. I suspect XMITjr wil go for a V60 now as it's about the only keyboard I have that is smaller than he is.

You can't start a child out on beamspring Andrew! Gotta start with something basic like Model M or G80.andrewjoy wrote: ↑Congrats! Get him his first keyboard early ! Something nice like a beamspring.

Correct. XMITjr can have his choice between Matias Quiet Click and Cherry MX Clear for now. For more routine smashing and bashing old rubber dome keyboards are great. I might volunteer MrsXMIT's old keyboard for this...
...or an HHKB Lite.

My 3 year old "uses" a PokerX with reds (with Cherry doubleshots of course); light enough for her to carry it around, durable enough to take a drop and easy enough to repair and clean.
Haven't given the 6 month old a board yet, he's only just got the hang of sitting up and is teething something fierce at the moment so anything I give him would probably end up with teeth marks in it.

My grandmother's favorite trick for teething babies was to tie a quarter into a corner of an old handkerchief and freeze it. The quarter won't come out if tied properly, and the frozen metal soothes the gums. Easy to launder and use again and again. No drippy water mess, and the hanky absorbs the slobber. There were no plastic teething rings in her day!

OK that's an interesting thought. I'd suggest displaywriter then. Great white.

I loved to hammer on a model F when I was a kid (around 12 or so) to sound real serious. Little did I know that I'd use it daily at home after 10 more years.XMIT wrote: ↑Correct.
