Hi John.

We are not talking about lugging a full sized keyboard--just plugging in an 
external number pad.  A number of companies sell them, and you just do your 
regular typing on the laptop keyboard, and issue JAWS commands from the 
external number pad.  They are very small and lightweight and go easily 
into the accessory pockets of the carrying case for your laptop.

Yeah, I could learn the keystroks in the "JKL" etc. side of the keyboard, 
but why?  This works, and it is painless enough to carry and set up.
