In October of 81, he came to Hong Kong again and was warmly welcomed by the old man.

"You finally remembered me, an old man, and didn't say anything about coming back to see me for so long. The old man's spirit became more and more refreshed, and he patted his shoulder vigorously.

has been embarrassed for a long time, as if he is home when he returns to the mainland: "The old man said that he laughed, how could I forget you, no, I brought some local products for you to taste." ”

"Go, there's everything at home. The old man was very happy, and instructed his subordinates to prepare dinner, which should be more delicate.

"Where's Ah Biao?" asked after a long time of looking around, "I haven't seen him for a long time, but this time I am fortunate that he has managed the funds, otherwise I really don't know what to do, and I have to thank him." ”

"Thank you, that's what you deserve. The old man's mouth was crooked, and he said angrily, "If it weren't for you, this kid wouldn't know what to play like, but now it's better to hold a company and not know home all day long." ”

Fei Biao is estimated to be very busy, he didn't come back after eating at the old man's place for a long time, he didn't know what to do, and he couldn't tell him clearly when he called, and he didn't have anything to do anyway for a long time, so he simply ran to Ah Biao's company.

The fat standard is now wider, the original sent people under the fence, and now I bought a whole building, standing on the commercial avenue, a pair of copper lions at the door, two people high gold characters erected on it - the number of the east, a number of lights back and forth, quite weather.

This guy is not afraid of electricity, and he has been thinking for a long time, he has no environmental awareness at all, and the money is too much.

When I arrived at the door, there was still a security guard to stop me, and I didn't let in after a long time, but I finally called, and Fei Biao came down to greet him in person.

Fat Biao down to the security guard is a scolding, seven miles of turn for a long time can not understand, just a period of persuasion, it is not easy to be a security guard, people are also dutiful, in the final analysis, they have to be rewarded.

Fei Biao stopped talking and brought Changjiu to his office.

"You're a luxurious place, and this elevator costs a lot of money. A little envious for a long time, he touched the golden inner wall and said.

"Generally, 2 million Hong Kong paper. Fei Biao obviously didn't care about the long-term questioning, but said mysteriously, "I have a few sets of good things here, just when you come, let's study and study together." ”

"What the hell is so Shinto? "I have long felt that Fat Biao's pretending to be a mysterious face is very funny.

"You'll know when you get there. "The fat label is sold, but it doesn't let go.

When I arrived at the ultra-luxurious office of Fat Biao, I couldn't help but curse the evil capitalism in my heart for a long time, and I was so fucking able to hollow out my mind to enjoy it.

This is an office, it's just a presidential suite, everything in it is complete, scarlet carpet, crystal chandeliers, office space in front, bedroom in the inside, and living room, damn, there is actually a bathroom, all evil!

I was so shocked by the luxurious decoration that I didn't see what was on the oversized desk.

"Look at this. Fei Biao led Chang Chang to the table, pointed to a few machines, and said, "This is what I brought back from the United States, but the latest model, you can take a look." ”

"PC!" "PC!" looked at it for a long time, and couldn't help but be shocked, "How did you get this thing?"

Fat Biao looked at Chang Chang with a little disappointment: "You know! I want to surprise you! IBM released this little thing two months ago, it's really funny, although this thing looks a bit weird, but this is a 16-bit computer, it's less than 3,000 dollars." ”

For a long time, I felt like the sky was collapsing, and I was preparing to snipe personal computers, who knew that this thing was actually on the market, could it be that my brain was in water, or Alzheimer's tendencies, and I actually developed a switch and forgot the time when IBM released the PC.

IBM's microcomputer plan is codenamed Checkers, but because of the hasty entry into the market, the Apple machine is overwhelming, in order to achieve the suddenness of entering the market, the secrecy work can be described as unknown, so that there is no rumor at all.

For a long time, in the closed information of China, and buried in the research and development of switches, it is really a little sad to make such a low-level mistake, and it is too late to regret it now, so let's take a look at the machine first.

I have a dream memory for a long time, and I am naturally familiar with the PC series, but I have not used this first-generation color, but the tradition of the PC is standardized compatibility, and the goal is to use the electronic accessories available on the market to combine into a universal machine, in fact, it is one of the largest machine builders, and it is difficult to think of such a structure for a long time.

It's the same as the picture, a square machine, the rectangular chassis lies quietly under the monitor, the keyboard is connected to the back of the chassis by cables, the design is decent, and the industrialized structure seems so concise, which makes people like it at a glance.

Chang took out the tool and handed it to the fat label: "Come, help the handle, let's see what's inside." ”

"It's not good, it's new, I haven't played it yet. Fat Biao's face was unhappy, and he was grinding.

"Be quick, open it early and finish it early, I can put this thing a few times with my eyes closed. "It's not bragging, it's about saving a PC for a long time or having confidence.

The two of them divided the poor PC into eight pieces, and shamefully exposed the circuit board inside.

After a long look, he was dumbfounded, it seemed to be very different from the motherboard he was familiar with in his mind, the CPU was easy to find, and it was just a 20-foot integrated block with Intel's big seal on it.

As for the most eye-catching other parts, the most eye-catching is the matrix-like arrangement of memory, which accounts for almost half of the entire board, and the entire circuit is densely packed.

This epoch-making machine perfectly has all the components of a computer, including processors, memory, roms, floppy disk drives, and BIOS, and its structure is almost the same as that of later generations of PCs.

After seeing it with my own eyes, the machine had no secrets in the eyes of the long man, and it took a few more minutes to put the machine up and running.

This IBM-pc uses Intel's latest cheap 16-bit microprocessor 8088, running at a frequency of 4.77 megahertz, and the same kind as the high-end goods 8086, but because the cost of 8086 has not been reduced, it is amazingly expensive, so Intel directly cut the external data bus of 8086 in half, from 16 bits to 8 bits, which greatly reduced the cost, and the performance did not drop too much.

This seemingly helpless behavior has an unexpected benefit, that is, the 8-bit external bus of the 8088 processor can seamlessly connect to a large number of 8-bit external devices on the market, which is the so-called cheap and sufficient.

Produced using Intel's latest process, the 8088 integrates 29,000 transistors and can process 330,000 instructions per second.

It contains a 20-bit address bus, which can address a trillion memory space, but this can make them programmers fall into blood mold for a long time, Intel's irresponsible and bizarre design has buried hidden dangers in the program, not only the software is difficult to write, but also the operating system has to be complex.

For a long time, I still can't forget the troubles of moving four positions to the left and four places to the right of the assembly, and I can't wait to the ancestors of Intel. It's just that this is also a helpless move, you must know that the early CPUs are based on the processing machine architecture of the minicomputer in reality, and the microcosm is integrated into the chip.

The 8-bit processor is OK, but the development of a 16-bit CPU is a bit troublesome, without any machine as a reference, Intel can only simply expand the 8080 and make a 16-bit 8086.

But the biggest advantage of this thing is the 16-bit one, if the 8-bit microcomputer can only be regarded as a toy, the 16-bit machine can be regarded as a high-performance computer, as long as the configuration is sufficient, theoretically it can completely replace the small computer to do anything.

This mainly involves some commercial applications, such as large databases, etc., which can only be done by machines with more than 16 bits, and only computers with more than 16 bits can run these much more complex programs.

And the bigger benefit is the graphics display, the 16-bit microprocessor can provide a better display because the CPU can control more pixels on the screen.

Even today, I still have to admire IBM's engineers, whose designs are extremely ingenious and reveal an industrial beauty.

Fei Biao also took out a box, flipped it down, poured a table of disks, and slowly sorted it out.

"It comes with a DOS operating system, a BASIC language, word processing software, good. Fat Label took the manual and checked it one by one, "Microsoft Adventures? What is this, can't it be a game?"

I also leaned over for a long time to take a look, and sure enough, it was a game, and it wasn't given away for free, and I couldn't help but be impressed by the sales methods of Bill's gate.

"What is this?" exclaimed, Fat Biao, picking up a floppy disk.

Damn, it's actually my own videoform spreadsheet program, I can't laugh or cry for a long time, Americans are really shrewd, and everywhere you can make money.

However, he not only cares about this for a long time, because he knows that the IBM-PC craze has not yet begun, and the history books record that IBM only sold more than 10,000 machines by the end of 81, which is pitiful.

"Let's play first. "I put down the software for a long time, opened the machine and started copying.

Bill's gate plucked his hair once and gave away a random small game software with a strange name, called Donkey. As soon as you run the program, a fluffy donkey appears on the screen, and it is interesting to be able to drive this thing around for a long time.

I checked it out for a long time, and this little game was actually written by Bill Gate himself, and I worship it.

The operating system is very easy to use.,It's not nonsense.,It's been used for a long time with DOS for many years.,But this 1.0 version of things is a simple B.,There's nothing just a directory.,There's no concept of folders.,Everything is stored on a disk A.。

There were only two file types - com and exe, and in order to survive the pitiful 64k memory of the IBM-pc, DOS had to divide the command processor into permanent and temporary, which was unusually cramped.

I smiled when I saw this for a long time.,This thing is not competitive at all.,Except for free.,It's estimated that there are no advantages.,It's not at the same level as your own operating system.。

It's just that the free weapon is more troublesome, so you can only do DOS while it hasn't become a climate, otherwise there will be endless troubles, and you will make up your mind for a long time.

"This one is more powerful, you see. Fei Biao happily took the manual and only showed it for a long time, "The floppy disk drive is actually 160k, which is very big." ”

Rolled his eyes for a long time and ignored him, sample, how big is this, if you are given a 5M hard disk, it won't kill you.

It's not fun, after running a few pieces of software for a long time, the programmer's habit makes him start assembling a few little things by himself, just snapping - it crashes.

"What should I do?" Fat Biao panicked, it had never seen anything like this before.

"It's simple, just reboot. "I pressed reset skillfully for a long time.

As a Microsoft user, you have to get used to this kind of action. For a long time, DOS1.0 is a worm nest, and it is said that there are at least 200 bugs.

Well, no, at least 300 of them, they have long overturned their own assertions, because in just ten minutes, they have died at least four times, although they have a lot to do with his violent operations. I finally know why IBM only sold more than 10,000 machines at the end of 81, and the bugs haven't been caught yet.

If you don't play it, you'll be sulking for a long time, and this thing will be half of the finished product, and the hateful devil can actually take it out and sell it for money!

Got up and gave the machine to the fat label, and was ready to go out for a long time to breathe, but at a glance, he saw that there was a beige computer in the corner.

"What's that?"

"Apple's garbage?" doesn't raise the fat head, just enjoy it there.

"Huh?"

"AppleIII, which Apple launched a few months ago, and I don't know who designed it, is a scam for money. Speaking of this thing, he got angry, "Six or seven thousand dollars of stuff can't run, and it's a fucking apple." ”

"Oh!" I understood for a long time.,Feelings are Apple's famous servant arcade machine.,To be honest, I really haven't seen this classic model.,It's better to look at it first.。
