What a wacky arrangement -- how to use up the most desktop space with the least added functionality! :< ) Needless to say, I am not happy with it. What should I be looking for as an alternative? --------- Some people actually like that keyboard. I have one myself with the keypad I got for free. There's a bunch of different types of keyboards you can use. I prefer the mac keyboards with the ADP ports on the side of the keyboard. I have some that you can plug the mouse in from underneath the keyboard, but the connection seems to work loose eventually.
