If apple were to go bankrupt what would you do?

I'd buy 10 MPBs and 10 MPs and continue to stuff the best hardware in that I can. I'd probably give the Hackintosh folks a call too.
 
"Damn...that kind of sucks."

And yeah, that would pretty much be the end of it for me. I don't have a problem with using Windows at all.
 
Carry on using my still working Macs most likely. The only thing that would change immediately would be the method that security patches are delivered, but I'm sure somebody would very quickly replace Software Update with a Linux-style repository.
 
Not much.

Just continue to use my Mac. Then when that dies, build a hackintosh. If the junk ass archaic software that is Windows XP is still a viable OS for half the worlds computers 8 years after its introduction, then I'm sure Snow Leopard will be fine for me for the foreseeable future.
 
I would take care of my UMB so that it would last a long time/forever, and then update it as much as I can.

What would you do if the world was overrun by bloodthirsty zombies? If Robert Mugabe became president of the USA? If you were the last survivor of deadly pig flue?
 
Carry on with my Mac

using whatever software support becomes available via third-party suppliers and software developers. That, of course, presupposes the bankruptcy has a tangible impact on the company's operations.
 
I would still buy things from them and would have lost a couple of thousand dollars in stock, however, bankruptcy is not the end of business.
 
Well, if they stop making products then I suppose...

When my iMac breaks down, I'd get a Dell with Windows 7 (or, 8, or whatever Windows is out at the time)

Replace my iPhone with a Zune HD (which I've been thinking of doing anyway)

The thing I'd miss the most would probably be iLife, which is, honestly, the only thing stopping me from jumping ship to Seven.
 
I'd say "crap, what MP3 player will I buy next?". Because IMO as much as I'm happy without Apple computers (at least desktops), they make the best MP3 players.
 
I would probably just say "Oh... that sucks.", then continue with my day.

I like their products, but I wouldnt cry over the loss.
 
I'd just use linux as my main OS. No big deal really. As far as phones either a pre or blackberry.

For music guess I'd be back to my MZ-E33
 
I'd just say, dam, never expected it to happen. Then start brushing off Windows techniques and carry on with life.
