OPINION
We reverse the aforementioned rejections. We need to
address only the independent claims, i.e., claims 1, 7,
15 and 27.
Claim 1
Olsson discloses a keyboard comprising a number pad having a
first key cluster including a plurality of digit keys, a
plurality of arithmetic operation keys, and a Tab key (figure).
Directly behind the first key cluster is a rectangle that may be
an indication of a second key cluster. See id.
