New Apple Keyboard?

I haven't seen this talked about yet - looks like Apple updated their keyboards:

No more numeric pad? WHY?

You can get the full sized one if you go for Intl. English or a foreign one. But yes, it sucks. If I didn't want a numpad I would have got the cordless one....

They actually have two wired keyboards now - one with a keypad and one without a keypad. Just select "with keypad" when you're purchasing your computer.

You're right, they do seem to have jettisoned the old-style keyboards. Shame, I like my numeric pad.

Edit - Just saw the above post, so the numeric pad lives on!

wrong default keyboard

I personally think that by default, the numeric keypad should be chosen.

I agree, but as the keyboard with the numeric pad is the same price i.e free with iMac I don't think we can complain too much.

Color me surprised that Apple still sees fit to include the keyboard with the numerical keypad with the Mac Pro. Apple could have gotten another $30 from Mac Pro buyers by sticking them with the small keyboard as standard.
