I hesitate to predict the reaction of legions of
WINdrones, but I would guess most people will tell you
it is much easier to trip over the NumLock being
unintentionally ON. You go to hit the Home key on the
NumPad and you start typing 7's, for example. Maybe
it depends on when you started using a PC, and what
use you make of the dual-purpose keys on the NumPad.
I only want the #s active when I happen to be doing
something arithmetical.
