well im looking to get the new 23inch monitor and i have a powerbook and a PC. I will be getting a hub to switch between systems to view on the display but i was wondering about keyboards. does anyone know of a way to use one keyboard with mac and PC. Because a PC keyboard lacks the apple button and all the hot keys for programs would probably be messed up. Anyone have knowlege of this? Does anyone make a keyboard that is made to use for both systems?

I have a PC and Mac sharing 22" Apple Cinema Display, Harman Kardon Soundstick USB speakers, USB keyboard, and USB mouse using ADC KVM switch. It works great. All the keys are mapped correctly between PC and Mac.
