I'd also like to add that MacOS X allows a choice of behaviors; out of
the box, they're special keys by default (after all, they were designed
for Mac use, and there's an Exposé key and a Dashboard key to prove it),
but that can be turned off, and the MacBook fanatics I know have set
them to being F-keys by default. So it's not universal that Mac guys
will expect the keys to have the special meaning (especially as the
Exposé and Dashboard keys don't mean much to a vanilla Ubuntu install).

Also, it's not the case that only Mac guys will use these keyboards. I'm
not a Mac guy, and I'm typing on one right now :-) (It is quite
pertinent to the discussion to note the unmistakable fact that these
keyboards are frickin' *sweet*.)
