ElDiabloConCaca: I wasn't talking about myself here. I actually enjoy my wireless keyboard with my iMac, and have been using notebook-keyboards as my primary input-method for more than ten years.
But I'm working at an Apple Authorised Reseller, and while we've heard _many_ complaints about the fact that there's no full wireless keyboard, we've never *ONCE* heard that somebody wanted a smaller wired option. And that isn't from highend users, it's from average users who want to use their Macs at home mostly. (Of course a couple of graphics designers and architects etc. as well.)

The number pad is important as soon as you have to input a lot of numbers, but it's also a requirement for many games - or at least a big convenience boost.

fryke, you make a good point about some games using the keypad. I had forgotten that I have assigned keys there myself. I like using 4-5-6 for Slow down-Normal-Speed up functions. Very convenient and fast.

Now, I have to go reprogram my KB!
