Great to see the list back up.
Windows XP Pro, at least, comes with a polytonic
(Classical/Biblical/Pre-1978) Greek keyboard that you can install
separately in the setup process. I don't like the layout myself, but it
works.
The support for Greek in OS X (Macintosh) is very good now, except for
Word Processing (MS Office doesn't support it, not really, nor does
AppleWorks, even though TextEdit - the OS X analog to Notepad - does).
Most of the iApps (Mail, iCal, Address Book, the Finder) work. If you
do get an Apple computer with OS X, you should download the Unicode
version of GreekKeys (do a search, or if someone wants, I'll post the
URL to the list later on). The support for Hebrew in OS X is I believe
another story, though Peter Constable would know more about that, I
suspect.
Good luck
