Possibly the "break correctly" thoughts.  If Numlock is on by default you
break laptop keyboards (with imbedded number pads).  I also have on my
workbench four small IBM keyboards that have imbedded number pads.  Most
"rack mount" keyboards I've seen are similar.  I think it is a PITA when
machines boot with Numlock enabled.

Just a view from the other side of the fence.
