Hi tom,
That's really funny you say that because when it comes to me entering in my
credit card number I never even think about the number pad. I just type it
in with the numbers across the top. I hardly give the number pad a glance.
Weird really considering logically it would be far quicker to
Hi Charles,
Interesting you had never used the number pad until you worked there.
Seems to me that would be the logical choice for anyone wanting to
enter several numbers at a time. Sure, for quickly writing down say a
date or time I'll use the top row of the keyboard but for most things
like
Most laptops have an option like hold the windows key and the right side of
the keyboard becomes a numberpad (I know Toshiba do), however it's not an
option I use myself as I said sinse I'm actually more used to living without
the pad, still it should be there on most laptops if you want it.
Charles, it might be worth a quick Google to see whether there's any
free software for Windows that can simulate an imbedded numpad on your
laptop. The idea sprang to mind because I use the numpad a lot over on
the Mac side, and Apple stopped imbedding them a few years back, but
there are a few
It's usually the f/n key rather than Windows, but in my experience,
this is the case way less often than it used to be. It's to the point
now where I'm pleasantly surprised when I see a laptop that has a
numpad function. Just the way things are progressing I guess.

I'm not sure that it is actually progress. I think it's a step in the wrong
direction.

I would never use the numberpad myself.
For most of my time through school, I always used laptops which didn't have
the numberpad. Then, when I actually got a desktop, I found it better to
use supernova's default numberpad layout for commands than the function key
layout I'd been using
It's been a long time since I've played it, but what I do remember is that you
just have to be insanely fast. That seems to be the key thing that I noticed.

Weighing in on the typing issue, I agree with both Tim and Dark. One
point that must be made though is that touch typing really needs a
physical keyboard, not just a virtual keyboard. Correct finger
positioning is necessary and without tactile clues, it is difficult to
do. Since keyboards
Since I took the time to learn the number pad, I now use it all the time.
Unfortunately, my laptop doesn't have one. I've got a conventional external
keyboard hooked to it when using it at home, though, so I do have the number
pad available. It does make sense to use it for entering numbers.
Hi eleanor.
That is precisely why the first device I bought for my Iphone the day I got
it (well after a sturdy case), was a bluetooth keyboard, although as I said
I frequently wind up using dictation or flicking through the on screen
keyboard because unfortunately the keyboard is a bit large
