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.

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.
