I'm stunned that any university department could be so stupid. Over
the last year my immediate work section has offered >100 five year
old computers to other university departments and all machines were
claimed within hours.

As somebody said, a PC keyboard will not work. Tell your friend to
look out for an original Apple Extended Keyboard II which has a
wonderful feel and response. They are occasionally advertised on the
uk mac adverts newsgroup.
