Nice! And really doesn't look all that dated.

It doesn't look dated? I can't think of any contempory ads that resembles this, but that is the charm.

I thinks this ad should take care of a lot of the "Is it safe to…" threads

It doesn't look that dated. Barring the addition of a wireless connection my typewriter isn't all that different to the one in the ad.

You can...
Boil it
Freeze it
Dunk it
Sweat it
Wear it in a desert sandstorm...

But for God's sake...don't take a shower in it!
