hmm...i dont really know. i imagine it would have to be done with third party software though

I suspect a lot of mac mini switchers who dont buy (or already have) apple keyboards may have the same question...

I suspect a lot of Mac mini switchers won't even realize those keys are "missing", since they're not standard on most keyboards anyways.
