most things that work on a PC will work on a mac, as long as the installer isnt a .exe file, like the mac mini plug in play type thing... a PC keyboard should work.

Since when did DOS have a blue background, white text, a different font, looks exactly like a NT kernel bluescreen error? Trust me, I've seen it enough times to know. Also, that device is USB, which DOS is seriously lacking support for (at last count, only mass storage device drivers had been written).

The fucking blue screen of death from Windows 2000, or XP! Its different than yours, doesn't show any place for information input, and I bet you if you took a screen shot of the blue screen and over lapped it with that screen, it'd pretty much line up 100%.

I was just saying that the photo on the virtual keyboard for medical shows a Blue Screen of Death. Everyone that I've shown it to says  the same thing too.

i thought BSOD had text in dead center and all in white.

while adding to the thread here, i think that their idea that the keyboard will prvent infection is a bit on the false side.  While true that it is quite a bit easier to clean and disinfect, it's still a keyboard.  You have to touch the desk in order to get the right key.  i don't see a difference between touching a desk vs touching a keyboard.
