[GLLUG] OT: Keyboards

I am trying to find a smaller keyboard, the Happy hacking keyboard v2 [1]
is very small, but I am worried that it is too radical of a departure from
the standard PC keyboard for me to get comfortable with.  Especially sice I
will probably only be buying one keyboard for work and have a standard one
at home.  Ideally I would like to get a standard PC keyboard, but one that
does not have the numeric keypad.  This layout would save the inverted T
arrow keys and the insert, del, pgUp, PgDn, etc keys.  This layout would
bring my mouse 4 inches closer to the keyboard, which I am sure would be
more comfortable.

So my questions are:
1) Has anyone out there found a PC keyboard without the numeric keypad?
B) Anybody using the Happy Hacking keyboard?  Comments?
