Don,

I prefer the standard layout, with use of the fn key to simulate numericpad
keys in combination with the u i and o centered portion of the keyboard.

Really, this is so when others speak of specific keystrokes, I can follow
what they're meaning is; and with a little practice, I don't have any
trouble making the combinations.  Also, I can look things up in the manual,
and count on them being correct.

You can downloads the remapcapslock utility, and it will cause capslock to
act as an additional insert key, making this option even better (though for
some odd reason capslock doesn't always work in all situations).

hth,

Chip

Subject: keyboard layout

Trying to set up a new HP laptop with a keyboard that has no numpad. 
Which keyboard layout works best in this situation?
