New iMac
in [UK Mac]

From: Peter James on 31 Jan 2010 06:54 I'm thinking of changing my G5 iMac PPc for the new 21.5 iMac in a month or so. Looking at the spec I see that it comes with a wireless keyboard and mouse. I like and use MacSoup for the newsgroups and with no number keypad it must make life difficult. Any comments from MacSoup users?

Well, you can get an extended keyboard as well. I wouldn't like a wireless keyboard, mainly becasue I wouldn't have to replace batteries or charge something when I see no reason or advantage on the keyboard being wireless. I have never used the numeric keypad in macsoup though, so I wouldn't miss that! -- Woody www.alienrat.com

You can custom order one with either a USB version of the same keyboard, or with the USB extended keyboard. You can also use an older extended keyboard if you have one spare. > I like and use MacSoup for the newsgroups and with no number keypad it > must make life difficult. > Any comments from MacSoup users? I've been using MacSoup on a laptop since about 2001, after having used it on a full keyboard for several years prior to that. I simply remembered which number keys corresponded to each direction when navigating the thread tree, or mentally pictured the numeric keypad. -- David Empson dempson(a)actrix.gen.nz
