The full size keyboard I have *DOES* have an FN key; it is in the upper left corner of the 'nine pack' of keys just above the 4 arrow keys. The FN key is still needed to overide the default hardware uses of some of the function keys like F1 thru F4. Now, you can go into the system preferences under keyboard and check the checkbox to use software function keys and then you would not need to use FN at all from what I can tell. Well but if software function keys are enabled, you would probably use the FN key to regain hardware functionality such as controling brightness, sound, playback functions and all. Personally, I prefer this configuration so I don't have to use the FN key every time I want to use VO to identify active window or application and the like.
