Non-Windows Keyboard


Okay, yeah, I'm a newbie. Step one is admitting to the problem, right? Hahaha... okay, okay, on to the question.

I am completely DONE with Windows, and I want nothing of the sort on my computer. If it can't be emulated, then it is no longer welcome on my machine. So in comes the problem. I have this little key on my keyboard, and it doesn't really do anything... it kinda irritates me...

Where can I buy a #$%@# non-Windows keyboard!?!?!?!??! I have been to every computer store I know of, and it seems as though every computer keyboard made in recent history has those annoying little keys. You know, with the logos and stuff for Windows shortcuts? Okay, maybe I'm ranting a bit, but isn't that a tad annoying to anyone other than me? I want a new keyboard. Anyone know where I can find one?
