this is stupid, but I never learned how to type numbers. I can type well with all the normal letters, but I have to always look at the keyboard to type numbers. I'm going to learn, but do you guys use the top row or do you use the number pad with your right hand when you're doing excel formulas or something like that?

Number pad >>
I find it especially efficient to start formulas by hitting plus rather than the equal on top row
I used to be on the number pad train but then as I started traveling a lot more got used to the top row and that's what I generally stick with now unless I have a ton of data / number entry to deal with.
