->  RJT> I wonder if anybody even makes one that has a
"real" keyboard...

-> The ones I've seen have both a PS/2 keyboard jack and a VGA monitor jack.  When
-> at home, just plug in your familiar 'standard' gadgets.

 That is one thing I regret not getting when I bought my Laptop. The
Docking Adapter. With one of those you just slide the laptop into it and
it connects to the standard Keyboard/Monitor/Mouse you can have set up
on your desk.
I do have a USB mouse becasue I hate the glide pad. But struggle
along with t4eh small keyboard. Never did warm up to the Joystick curser
controller some laptops had either.
