[nfbcs] Dell keyboards

[Rasmussen, Lloyd]

Have you called them up and asked if there is a special key combination that handles this?  You might be surprised to find out that there is a way around this.

Subject: [nfbcs] Dell keyboards

I just found out that Dell is sending out keyboards with no numlock.  It's impossible to turn numlock off and use the standard Jaws desktop commands. 
Thanks Dell.  Now we have to make a keyboard swap and get them to send a standard keyboard for my husband's new PC.  There was no indication in the description of this substandard keyboard, either.
Just thought I'd warn anyone looking to buy a new Dell.
