Thanks Bruce, John and Christopher for your input.
I brought my Apple keyboard in to work today and hooked it up to the PC
(running XP) and it worked fine. I think that's a better option for me than
getting a flat PC keyboard. Mainly because I'll be using the same keyboard at
work and at home, and if I can re-map the keys it will cut down on my
key-command confusion. The dual monitors arrived already, and I'm in heaven
with that. Total luxury having all that screen space. Now, just gotta wait
patiently for the new Dell CPU... I mean, PC.

What's a Dell CPU? I'm not sure what you're talking about? Does Dell
have a line of computer's they actually named "CPU"??
If you prefer your Apple keyboard then I suggest just trying it with
the PC. I use an old white Apple keyboard with my Windows 7 system and
it's not really that big a deal. The "Command" key on the Apple
keyboard is mapped to the "Windows" key on a PC keyboard.
The one thing that might a problem are the Print Screen, Scroll Lock,
& Pause/Break keys. I'm not sure they map correctly with my Apple
keyboard. Only a problem of course if (1) they don't work for you and
(2) you actually need to do something using those keys.
FWIW,
