Is the Natural Keyboard Pro I got this month an "old" one? I don't know what would be a good solution. Going back to the traditional keyboard isn't it, and it's not a lot better. I just wish I didn't have to move my arm so far away from the keys to get to the mouse. It's a good 1-1/2 hand spans away. For medium sized woman that's a pretty fair amount of reach. Not that I'm not used to it.

Hm. If I could get a keyboard w/o the numeric keypad, that might work.
