You should be able to simply pop the two keys that are reversed.  Someone,
like my students at school these last few years love to pull the keys and
mess with your mind.  I would say she got an excellent deal, but definitely
get some kind of warranty.  Indigo for an iBook?  Blueberry, Tangerine, and
now white, but Indigo is an iMac, I believe.  Not that it really matters.

Others may have different experiences here, but I would wait, save some
money for now and make sure you get Applecare because it is cheaper.
Others may tell you that CompUSA is ok, but I have heard a variety of
experiences.

An iBook may be different and may need something different here, and
CompUSA might be acceptable, but at least check with them to see if you can
wait for awhile.
