  wouldn't it make more sense to put the numeric keypad on the left? The the
  letters could be directly in front of you, and your mouse hand wouldn't be
  3 million miles to the right. Perhaps this would eliminate some of these
  "injuries" people moan about.

Sense?!? You expect this industry to do something that makes sense when
the market will pay through the nose for garbage? Think about it.

Numeric keypads should have been optional and separate from the keyboard
to begin with.

I use neither a mouse nor a numeric keypad, so I'm curious why you need
both.

As for injuries, they are real. I've been typing on computers for fifteen
years without discomfort, so I too was suspicious at first, but now I'm
convinced that carpal tunnel syndrome and other repetitive-stress
injuries must be taken seriously.
