Nah, just = learn to go minimal and work with the laptop shortcuts - which also allows = you to use that super nice minimal apple keyboard with no num-pad. So clean= .=C2=A0

Also maximize that trackpad by turning tap select on an= d three finger drag etc. I edit entire vids with the Air using just the tra= ckpad and built in keyboard on airplanes or in a hammock sipping a mai tai.= 'Tis lovely.

Takes a week or two to get used to, but once you go minimal,= you'll never go back. :-)
