I was planning on purchasing an external numpad to use instead of the numbers above the letters, for that will not do the job. Any suggestions on which ones to get, and also if they are compatible with OS?
I had this same issue a couple of weeks ago. I ended up just buying the apple extended keyboard w/numeric keypad for work and I use the wireless one in my dorm. I wish I had come across the bluetooth keypad that hooks into the wireless one. That would be much easier to carry when I need the keypad when I take work home.
