I think many of you are still thinking in terms of the jaws key layout which uses the numpad keys. This is being abandoned more and more in later versions of screen readers.
I'm one of the few people who absolutely hates notebook keyboard maps for screen readers and instead prefers to use the number pad accessed with the FN modifier key. I prefer to learn one single key map and then learn the numpad layout for my notebook, so I don't have to remember two sets of screen reader commands. I'm not sure why so many people hate using the number pad on notebooks with the FN key, but I guess I'm a bit weird in that regard. :)
