So this might be a dumb question. I want to get a more ergonomic keyboard for my mac, so when I pick up a USB keyboard that doesn't have an eject button because it was made for PC, how do I eject my cd rom drive?

At least 4 other ways to eject a disk without the button on the keyboard:

- Drag the disk to the trash can.
- Select the disk, right-click on it, choose eject
- Select the disk, go to the "File" menu, choose eject
- Select the disk, press the 2-key short-cut (command + e)

HTH,

Will those other commands work when i'm running in windows 7 which I have set up as a dual boot?

Also, will a wireless PC keyboard be able to sync to the mac the same?

Yes, if the PC keyboard is BT and is recognized by your Mac.

I am a new iMac owner and love everything about it except this dinky keypad...
Will any of my old USB PC keyboards work? What do I use for a COMMAND key?

I don't understand why Apple uses this tiny little keypad...what's up with that?
