Very true. I use a Mac book Pro for my daily workflow, and this means I also had to invest in an external keyboard. What I have found is generally you can pick up a nice Apple keyboard with the number pad pretty cheaply on eBay. Or all else, I think they are $40 direct from Apple. A small price to pay for the convenience. Of that I am certain.
