spare keys for a 1998 Boxster

Hello,
I just bought my first 1998 Boxster and it is quite a leap from a 92 Mazda Miata MX5. What took me so long!
Anyway, I only received 1 FOB key with the car and I found out that the dealers need about $160 for a new key ( with chip transponder) and from $0 to $160 to program the car/key. I like to have a few spare keys around but at that price I can think of a few other things to spend on to improve the machine.

Is that the only solution to purchasing new keys? It being a 1998 with 45000 miles, and spending about $14K, I am not overly worried about key recognition from a theft standpoint.
If there are any simpler/cheaper solutions for these older cars, let me know.

Regards, Bob
