It was just very different for me.  I got frustrated because I'd go to do
something with jaws and things weren't where they usually are like on a
desktop.  the keyboard wasn't too small-I've got tiny hands, nor were the
keys too close together.  It just didn't feel as intuitive.  And granted, I
really didn't stick with it, and learn the laptop layout, I went out and
bought one of those little number pads instead.
