I'm not sure *why* I want it - I have no actual
use for it - but this
was the sort of spec that was to unrealistically expensive to be even
worth /dreaming/ about in 1988 or so when I first started working with
Macs. :?)
Could it be mid-life crisis? Instead of buying sports cars, we're looking
for the computer configurations we longed for but couldn't afford in our
youths?
Although, I must say, my head has been turned by the prospect of MythTV
running on a shiny *new* collection of hardware. I'm seriously
considering decimating my collection of old Macs and just focusing my
attention on playing around with modern stuff for a few years.
Of course, I want to perfect replacing the FBGA soldered memory chips in
the Apple TV and use hacked ATVs as the MythTV front ends. If there's no
hardware hacking, where's the fun?
