I'm on the verge of purchasing a MIDI keyboard to learn how to play the piano.

My question is, how many keys do I need to learn? A piano has 88, so I lean towards that. But there are 76 key, 61 key and 49 key controllers.

Which would be a good one to learn on for someone who has never played before?

I found this software for OS X that will be available soon:

What other hardware will I need to connect the MIDI keyboard to my computer.

I have(or will have as soon as it delivers) a dual 2Ghz G5 with 2GB of RAM

Thanks in advance for the help with this.
