Hi fellas.

I agree about the keyboard, but the external number pads are really quite 
nice and stuff easily into the carry bag for the notebook PC.  It is quite 
a nice option because it lets you use JAWS with the desktop keyboard 
configuration, yet you don't lug a big heavy keyboard.

73, de Lou K2LKK

P.S.  If you go this route, avoid the Kensington keypads as they don't 
handle the 5 key properly and the current character and current word 
commands don't work on JAWS with the Kensington number pads.
