	Me, I wouldn't have the extended keyboard if you gave me one.
Function keys are nice to have (a little, they're also user unfriendly
unless clearly labeled and consistently used) but I want the escape, delete/bs,
and control keys in the usual places.  I also have a small desk and the
extended keyboard takes up far too much space.
