I have a 24" widescreen at work, and occasionally wish I had a smaller second screen, so that I can have one app maximised on the large screen, and a secondary app maximised on the smaller one.
It's not the size, it's the cardinality. I might, for example, like to have Aperture running in full-screen mode on the main screen, and a web page with an Aperture tutorial on the other screen.
The last time I used a keyboard as small and bijou as that it was on an Olivetti laptop. Even then, it wasn't quite that small and bijou. As long as it works!
Oh, gods, have just realised you got the mini wireless keyboard instead of the wired one. I do like having the wider traditional keyboard, it's still not large.
That secondary monitor is bloody ugly. Why not just get an LED cinema display to plug in and make your desktop properly superfluous?
When I got my iMac (same as the one above) I asked them in the shop if I could switch the wireless keyboard for the full-sized wired one, like you can on the web. They looked confused for a bit and then decided to sell me the fullsized one, but then take off the price of the keyboard from my bill, and leave the wireless one in the box.
They will project the image of a keyboard onto the desk, and track your fingers with a camera. That way it is absolutely flat, and it saves them a bunch on parts. It also replaces the mouse -- just make multiple-touch gestures outside the keyboard area.
