Hi John, David, Gordon, and Others,

The site that John references is Other World Computing, which recently came
up as a source for information about maximum memory upgrades.  They do have
an international sales telephone number, too:
International: (815) 338-8685

I assume you need to use the U.S. Country Code (+1) before that number.  In
the U.S.  there is a toll-free number: (800) 275-4576

I was going to suggest the Macally keyboards, which I believe is what John
was recommending at the OWC macsales site:
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Macally/IKEY5/

This product can also be purchased from U.S. sites like Amazon and Newegg. 
Here's an Amazon link:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00006HYP6/

Macally has international sales, so you could go to their Macally European
web site:
http://www.macally-europe.com/

They also make Bluetooth keyboards with numeric keypads.  Generally, their
keys have more travel, similar to the older style desktop keyboards.  The
keyboards also work with PCs, although they are designed for Macs.  

HTH.  Cheers,

Esther
