Jeremy.
The keyboard I am requesting is a normal sized one which can be connected
directly to the laptop using the USB ports. However, there are various
kinds of keyboards available on many web sites. Here are a few I looked at.
There's a keypad which is designed to provide the missing numeric keys to a
laptop user. It is so simple that all you have to do is plug it in and
you're there.
One company makes a wireless laptop keyboard which works off of the USB
connection and can be carried to within 30 feet of the actual unit. It even
has small feet which can be folded out of the base so that you can get that
slanted feel that many desktop PC users prefer.
I found examples of these additional boards both on the HP web site and on
Dell. As a matter of fact, now that I think about it, I think that there
are some on Tiger Direct as well.
But you can buy some of these nice little things right at your neighborhood
big box store like Best Buys or Radio Shack.
I hope that this helps.

Any info on these external keyboards would be great. I am assuming they
are laptop sized ones or are they normal sized? Something small that would
easily fit in a laptop case would be awsome.
