Greetings!

Hello,

This looks like it's going to be fun. I see good stuff ahead. This forum looks nice too - a good bunch.

Can't wait to try the Orbiter. I'll have to wait though because this laptop has no NumPad and from what I can see it's pretty essential. So maybe this weekend.

Anyway, glad to be here.

Ken

Welcome to the forums, good to have you here

Yes, a numpad is pretty essential to fly using a laptop. I found one at BuyMore for about $10.

Hey thanks! Just ordered one from Newegg - $12.

My job is a night monitor for some invalid guys that just sleep all night so this will give me something new to do.

Although don't forget you can sometimes use Fn+ 789uiojklm keys to do numpad buttons. Also, Orbiter's built in remote control thing gives you a popup with all the RCS controls (I think you have to activate it in the launchpad's modules tab).
