If there's one thing I'm missing after switching to a MacBook, it's the

Whenever I use a mac the first thing i miss are the extra six "cursor
keys", starting with the home and end keys, then the page-up/page-down
keys, followed by insert/delete.
Why? Someone holding a gun to your head, keeping you from plugging your own
keyboard in?
Hardware-wise, the IBM Thinkpad T series was wonderful. If I could run OS/X on
it I'd be happy.
I hate having to choose between hardware that sucks and software that sucks,
but at least I *can* plug a decent keyboard in my Mac.
And getting back to the original subject, why would a quirk of Apple *hardware*
design keep you from implementing a decent user interface on a UNIX desktop,
instead of copying Windows?
