OT: PC-AT Numeric Key Pad

I liked this key pad ever since I first saw it. But how many people use it? I have been trying to learn to use it well, with my right hand.
The '0' key, trying to use my thumb, is not that easy to use. And then, it all really depends upon how many other keys, not in the key pad, you need to use? Do it all with your right hand? Mostly the keys right next to the key pad?
If you wrote a special purpose program, you could make it so it does everything with the key pad and those right next to it.
The PC-AT key pad is like an old 10-key adding machine. Let it be known, there was a time in college where I was employed diagnosing and repairing such office machines, the electronic version of a 10-key adding machine, and with a paper printer.
Notice also that this 10-key pad is totally different from a touch tone telephone, or from modern cell phones

In his new book “How Fascism Works: The Politics of Us and Them,” Yale professor Jason Stanley warns about the dangers of normalizing fascist politics, writing, “What normalization does is transform the morally extraordinary into the ordinary. It makes us able to tolerate what was once intolerable by making it seem as if this is the way things have always been.”
