Would your keyboard serve as an acceptable substitute?

I think I can safely say "No." I hear the newer versions have an extra button which allows you to program functions to each of the twelve "F" keys. But I have no idea if that programmability allows for entering a string of keystrokes. I do know that my keyboard, the older version, does not allow this.

Using the Logitech software, I have set each of the buttons (Finance, My Sites, Community, Favorites, iTouch, E-Mail, Shopping, Search, and My Home) to open the appropriate application or URL. But I think that's as good as it gets.
