Do You Still Use the Keypad on Your Keyboard?

Apple has released a new wired compact keyboard similar to their wireless keyboard, sans the numeric keypad.
Which makes me wonder…
If Apple is giving people the option to buy keyboards without the numeric keypad, are there still people out there who actually use numeric keypads?
I, for one, have not used a numeric keypad in ages!

Hi! this is because you don’t work with finantial, comercial or estatistic thyngs. don’t use excel or access, or is a heavyer programer. In resume, don’t work with numbers in series.
And don’t is left-handed too!
Well I use my number pad and I don’t work in any kind of numbers or financial area (events & pr) I don’t know what it is but I really like using it, it’s so much easier than using the little numbers at the top. Maybe I’m just a bit backwards!

i work as an engineer and moonlight as a content management specialist(sans writer) but i still use number pad for:
1) password that contains number/s
2) statistical and analytics report
3) doing simple mathematics that my head couldn’t fathom
or maybe it’s just me.
but i know i am transitioning away to a non-number pad keyboard since i am shifting between a full sized laptop(in my room), to a desktop(in the office), to a netbook(while on the road).
