[commenting on the Apple wireless keyboard]

Apple could of course make two wireless keyboards, one with the numeric
keypad and one without. I never use my numeric keypad so I would choose
the one without, even if it was the same price or slightly more expensive.

What I would like is a wireless keyboaard that includes the arrow and
function keys to the right of the main keys, but did not include the numeric
keypad. Such a keyboard would be no wider than my 17" MacBook Pro and could
fit into the same carrying case.
