[macvoiceover] Re: Apple keyboard with numPad

It may just be a preference thing.  The multi-key combinations really still bug 
me. Not as much as they used to, but if I had to name one thing that I don't 
like about the Mac right now, it's all the key-mashing.  I think I'll be fine 
with just my macbook when travelling or away from home, but I figure that for 
daily home/work use, I might as well have numpad commander.
Best,
Donna

I may have said this before but I didn't have numpad commander for  
several years before it came along and even now that it has, I use it  
rarely and find the mac easy to use without it.

Russell,

Take this as newbie advice, but I think there is.  I got the MacBook  
pro,
and plan to go to the Apple Store today in search of a keyboard with the
numpad.  If you have the numpad, you can use Numpad commander, which  
allows
you to use the numpad keys as dedicated vo keys.  Though I haven't  
used one,
I think this would make using a mac a lot easier.
Just my $.02
