I am the oposite; perhaps because I am a lawyer and also like writting, I find more convenient to enter numbers and JAWS keystrokes using the extended keypad, avoiding to frequently move a hand to the right when I'm writting. Fortunately I am used to it since I started to use computers on 2002, because when I recently went to university with a netbook could be hard to share a table if I had a full-keyboard laptop or an external one connected.
