Dan,

I have the extended TP keyboard w/ the trackpoint and love it.  It would
be very hard to use anything else now.  It is extremely rugged (it has
survived several 2-3 foot drops from my keyboard tray to the hard floor
plus a beer spilled in the early days).  Having the TrackPoint is a huge
plus for me as I find using a mouse very awkward after getting used to
the point on my 755cx and external keyboard.

On the downside,  they are pretty expensive.  When you think you can get
a decent keyboard for $25-30 the $100 plus for the extended keyboard is
pretty stiff.  For me the investment was worth it.

Good luck (BTW,  I use the keyboard w/ a Dock II).
