What you would do if:
At MWSF, Apple released:
PM G5 at 1.2, 1.4, 1.6 GHZ and 1.4 dual with DDR RAM, 266 bus, firewire 2, USB 2, 60,80,100 and 120GB drives.
iMac G4 flat panel
top end with a superdrive
17", 19", 24" displays @ 799, 1199, 1999
I think I would
1) Laugh and jump around a bit. 2) Get out the credit card, tell it "don't worry, it will all be over in a second", then go to Apple's site and click on "buy" a few times. I would make that credit card my WHORE that day I can tell you.
But, with the G5 speeds we have heard (the ridiculous top end) I think I would roll around on the floor laughing (ROTFL) if they released something crazy like 1.8, 2.0 and 2.2GHZ PM's....when I say "ROTFL" I really mean it....I REALLY DO.
As much as I know that this has about as much of a chance of happening as having Bin Laden apologize to the US and pay for recontruction of NY, I still think it would be funny.

I wouldn't laugh until I realized it was true, and that my convulsions were not permanent. Then I'd run around screaming like that guy in the Time Warner Road Runner commercial where he got his first phone call while he was online.
I'll wait a few months and make enough money first.
<strong>While I would react in an extreme nature as you would, I don't think laughter would be the main emotion. It would be kind of like winning the lottery. Where astomishment and shock. So I'd probably sit there with my mouth hung open, dripping with drool, sholder and arm twitching, eyes wide open.

Hmm, that's more like what I would do, actually...
... then I'd wipe them off and go tell my PC using friends about those Power Mac specs!
But in the mean time I may buy a very cheap (sub 600US) PC for rendering stuff.
Of course if something really big happen to me my above plan will be changed

"Carlton, I now give you my chicktionary"
*Will hands to Carlton.*
*Carlton starts glowing green*
"I can feel the power.......Yes........Yes.........Yeaaaaaeeesss!! !!"
That or I'd need to change my pants.
<strong>It would be kinda like that Fresh Prince episode where Will gives Carlton his chicktionary.

LOL, I remember that.
NOT!
And then, if I didn't find that, I would check a bunch of Mac news sites...
And then, if they confirmed it, then I would make sure that my internet connection is working properly by reloading Apple.com several times....
And then, if it still showed those machines, I would call my boss at work and have him look it up on his machine to make sure it wasn't just a Mac bias or something...
And then, if he confirmed it too, I would have someone slug me in the face to make sure I'm not dreaming...
And then -- after I ice my sore cheek -- if Apple.com STILL showed those as the new systems...
I would pause and say out loud...
"Okay, Morpheus, I'd like to leave The Matrix now!"
And then if nothing happened, I'd check CNN to make sure that Bin Laden hasn't apologized to the US (because frankly, that has a better chance of happening)...
And if all was the same there, I'd think that was pretty cool. <img src="graemlins/smokin.gif" border="0" alt="[Chilling]" />
yea that pretty much sums it up for me as well
Otherwise I'd be Citibank's whore.
"Holy Sh*t, Holy Sh*t, Holy Sh*t, Holy Sh*t,Holy Sh*t, Holy Sh*t, Holy Sh*t,Holy Sh*t.... "
Then proceed to call my dad to tell him what he was getting me for my graduation present: a [shiver]G5[/shiver].
<strong>What would you do if ...</strong><hr></blockquote>
Sell a kidney.
Then I'd consider the Dualy machine and the awe-inspiring changes it could bring to my life...indeed to the entire known universe! Floods would dry up, crops would grow amongst the barren rocks and desert, Osama bin Laden would show up at the United Nations with hand-cuffs and tears of sorrow, Microsoft would disolve itself out of good conscience and humanity towards all, the Japanese and Norwegians would stop harpooning whales...LIFE WOULD BEGIN ANEW!!!
