Nice to dream isnt it.

But why would you need all the ipods? You couldn't carry them all, unless you are planning on starting a Apple museum it would be pretty useless, better spending the money on itunes purchases and External drives to store them on.
 
If I won the lottery I would buy a fully loaded Mac Pro (not that I need that much computer, but why not do it with all that free money from the lotto?) and a 15" Macbook Pro.

Of course that would be AFTER I pay off my mortgage, put lots of money aside for my children's education and make proper financial arrangements so that one day I can retire.
 
I would buy Apple.
I would make Apple release the G5 PowerBook
I would buy a G5 PowerBook
I would sell Apple
 
I would get the most expensive Mac pro with four 30 inch cinema displays, the most expensive Macbook pro, 2 cintiq drawing tablets, the most expensive audio equipment (mixers, keyboards, controller pads), the most expensive DSLR with tons of lenses and equipment, a professional panavision HD camera, custom made computer desks, and buy myself a new house designed by me.

Sorry but I never really experienced the PPC age of macs and I wonder why people say that they hate how apple switched to intel or how they want a G5 powerbook. What was so great about PPC compared to current intels?

I've used G5 powermacs in my schools multimedia and design labs (we have a mix of G5's and mac pros) and i always hate working on them because their deathly slow even compared to my MBP.
 
Id have to have a Lisa and an original Mackintosh - nostalga for me :)

(and Id want them mint) + I'd have a cube for its looks and an LCII also)

yeh Id probably be getting a bunch of 30"'ers for my Mac Pro too, but the special bit would definatley be the original mac.

The G5 PowerBook is more of a joke at Apples inability to release one as the G5 ran way to hot.

If I won the lottery I'd buy a base end Mac Pro, with 2 graphics cards and two more Apple 20" displays, making three. 4 Gig of ram, 1TB HD, nothing special. Just to do my work. Then again I wouldn't need to would I… ;)
 
Well I just got back from my imaginary shopping trip to the Apple store.
All came out to be $28.725.22 :D

I'd buy a fully-loaded Mac Pro with two of the Quattro nVidia graphics cards. And 4 30" ACDs with wireless keyboard/mouse. And maybe an iPhone 3G white plus all the accessories. Most expensive Bose sound system and a 50" Bravia TV wall mounted lol. Then comes the fully-loaded MBA and 15" MBP.
 
I'd get a Macpro, Macbook Pro 15", and an iMac 24" (All of them pimped up to the max).

Then I won't worry about working, so I'll do a PhD and get a job in Apple. Then 15 years later hopefully I can replace Steve Jobs.... When he retired...
 
If I won the lottery ...

I believe 'buying' the other lottery companies (inc. the company of the winning lottery) are excellent candidates.
 
I wouldn't buy any new computers, I'm more than happy with my Mac Pro/MacBook combination.
