Unlike the boxy shape of the IBM-PC, the obscure Apple III is small and exquisite, with all the edges and corners sleek transitions, and the beige plastic case looks like a toy.

Since the chassis and display are integrated, it looks a bit like a vertical box.

"This thing doesn't look as poisonous as you say?" has been puzzled for a long time, and it is rumored in the industry that Apple has two major servants, one is Apple III, and the other has not yet come out.

This machine looks so cute, how can it be served, is it too expensive?

Fat Biao stuffy head on the IBM-PC keyboard to type commands, without raising his head and said, "You can pick up that thing and shake it." ”

What does this mean, he did as he was told, picked up the chassis and shook it, and there was a clanging sound from inside.

"There seems to be a foreign object in there. "The long-term feeling is accurate, and I guess there is more than one.

Fat Biao said hatefully: "This broken thing cost me 7000 US dollars, and it is not easy to use the second generation, and it keeps crashing after a few days. ”

After a long time, I suddenly realized, but I can't figure out how Apple, a big company, can make this kind of product, is it that the export goods are all defective products?

In fact, this is not about exports, Apple's third generation is like this, following Apple's second generation of popularity, Apple went public to raise funds, a lot of money, caused other old computer companies to red, have launched new products, just 80 years on the emergence of several new brands.

Due to the late strike, these new products are all selling with 16-bit microprocessors in an attempt to change the sky. Apple President Steve Jobs was under pressure to develop new products to seize the market.

Apple's second generation is based on its earlier launch, using the cheapest 6502 microprocessor, with a frequency of one megabyte, which is basically a toy.

Due to the tight time and the fact that the fan was a burden, Jobs stubbornly designed the whole system with no regard for heat dissipation.

Apple's third-generation circuit board is placed at the bottom of the chassis, small and unventilated, as soon as the machine works, it will heat up here, and under the thermal expansion and cold contraction, the chips on the motherboard will be slowly squeezed out, where can such a computer still work.

After a large number of Apple three generations were shipped in 81, they found such and such problems, and the chips on it were the most. This erroneous design caused a large number of complaints, and the phones of Apple's technical support department were flooded.

There is also a joke here, which is said to be a historical fact, that is, Apple once released an official solution to the problem of allowing customers to repair the chip by themselves.

Here's how to do it: Lift the front of Apple's third-generation case about six inches away from the desktop with both hands, and then lower it so that the chip can reset itself.

This is the official statement, with our IQ understanding is to let the chassis fall freely, and it can be recovered under impact.

Obviously, people will not pay attention to the effect of such an almost absurd statement coming out of the mouth of a large company.

A large number of third-generation machines were replaced by Apple, which only solved the quality problem, and more importantly, the third-generation machines were not compatible with the second generation, which was troublesome, so that no one developed software for this machine at all, which made many potential buyers have the desire to buy a home to play.

Apple still can't help it, and I thought for a long time that a company with this kind of personality will either become popular or fall miserably, and I don't know whose sorrow it is.

"Don't play!" Fat Biao pushed the keyboard and stood up, waking up from a long period of deep thought.

"What's wrong?" asked Chang Chang.

"It's not fun, it's just a high-end toy. Fat Biao poured a glass of cold water and twisted his neck comfortably, "It is claimed to be 16-bit, or it is not as cool as the workstation we do, so it is also 68000 microprocessor, quasi-32-bit." ”

"It's easy for you to say, how can it be the same. He rolled his eyes for a long time, infinitely despised this loser regardless of the cost, "How many people can get a few processor integrated computers like you, be content, ueIBM-PC is only more than two thousand dollars, and selling it is the last word." ”

"I'm not optimistic, I'm just going to play anyway. Fat Biao smiled, "I haven't asked you yet, where did you go a while ago." ”

"Alas, don't mention it, go back to the mainland and prepare to do something, who knows that it will be empty again, come back and relax. "I've been depressed for a long time, and I'm sad when I mention this.

"It's okay to come back, don't go back, what do we want, you can start your own company, do whatever you want, how happy. Fat Biao said demagoguously, "It just so happens that you are back, I still have something to trouble you." ”

Chang Chang hurriedly waved his hand: "Don't mind, I'm annoyed when I hear things now, and I'm still in trouble." ”

Fei Biao took out a box, opened it, took out a short stick and threw it to Changchang: "Taste, this is an authentic import." ”

Chang Chang took a look, it turned out to be a thick cigar, tore off the tin foil, sniffed it for a long time, and sighed: "You are really corrupt, this kind of thing is smoked." ”

Fat Biao grinned and said: "I have always believed that the grade of cigarettes is directly proportional to income, and the thickness of cigars is directly proportional to status. As he spoke, he cut off the cigarette holder for a long time and lit it with a blowtorch.

Although it is also a small smoking gun for a long time, where has he smoked this kind of seafood, he took a sip, and a strong spicy taste only entered his lungs, and the long tears of choking came out.

"Ahem, this stuff is so spicy. He coughed for a long time, wiping tears from his eyes, and said, "How can you stand such a choking thing? I remember you couldn't smoke very much! ”

"It's easy!" Fat Label held his cigar leisurely and puffed out the smoke ring very gracefully, "As long as you don't inhale your lungs, it's fine, who let you fool take a sip to the end." ”

"Ahem, you're too lacking in morality, ahem. ”

"It's noble life, haha. ”

The two quarreled for a while, and finally got back to business. For a long time, he told Feibiao about his overview of the R&D switch in the mainland, as well as the obstacles encountered, and wanted to ask him what he could do.

Fei Biao didn't care at all: "If they don't want it, they will pull it down, Hong Kong has opportunities." You pull all the people over, come to me, I'll cover it, I'll look for the old man about the switch, maybe he has a way out of the old man. Brother, don't worry, even if the mainland doesn't recognize this thing, Hong Kong will want it, wait for me to ask people in the industry. ”

"It's better to be so, thank you. Chang smiled and said, "It's the first time I've made something independently, and to be honest, I'm really a little emotional, and I can't let it go." ”

"Sister Zhang is still in the mainland, I'll call and ask her to arrange for your subordinates to go abroad, don't worry about it." Fat Biao comforted for a long time, "You can have fun these days, and when you have a rest, I still have something to trouble you here." ”

"What's the matter?" asked Chang Chang.

"Something technical. Fat Biao said embarrassedly, "I opened this company or thanks to you, just that Pacman game made an arcade to make a lot of money, but this year's sales are a little not optimistic, you can't sit back and eat, how can you make a new product." ”

"That's fine. Speaking of games, I have been energetic for a long time, "I have a lot of game ideas here, and you can release new ones in a month." ”

Fat Biao was overjoyed and hugged him for a long time: "I knew you could do it, it's not too early now, I'm a little hungry after playing all night, let's go, let's have supper!"

The next day, Fei Biao specially pushed his job and accompanied him to play in Hong Kong for a long time, and he was very happy.

I didn't have time at all last time I came to Hong Kong for a long time, but this time I let go of my mind and got a general understanding of Hong Kong.

Fat Label also dragged a long time into a brand-name clothing store, and he changed his outfit. I didn't like that kind of orthodox suit for a long time, so I specially drew a look and asked the Italian tailor to cover this idea.

The foreign tailor turned over the pattern that he had drawn for a long time and looked at it upside down, and finally drew another one for him to see: "Is this the case?" ”

"Yes, that's it, the collar has to be turned up a little bit. After a long point, the tailor immediately made changes.

"Ok, meet your requirements, get the goods in a week. The tailor put away the tape measure, and although the customer's request was strange, no one would be at odds with the money.

The long-term self-design is actually very simple, that is, the stand-up collar tunic, but it is all black cashmere, and it is also known as the Chinese stand-up collar in later generations.

I used to envy the straight shape very much in my dreams for a long time, but I didn't have any money in my pocket, so I could only despise it.

Time flies, and after getting the clothes for a long time, Fei Biao also received a call from the mainland, and Dr. Yu is also coming back.

Chang Daqi, isn't Dr. Yu a consultant in the research laboratory in China, why did he come back again?

Fei Biao shook his head: "Uncle Yu didn't say anything, just let us pick him up." ”

～～～

Dr. Yu got off the plane, and when he saw Fat Biao and Changjiu, he was very happy, and he was full of praise for Changchang's outfit, and boasted: "I didn't think I would see you for a few days, but you have become a handsome guy for a long time." ”

Long secretly rejoiced, and Fei Biao said enviously: "This is what I have been looking for myself to do for a long time, the way he painted, not to mention, it's really a bit spiritual, I also want to get a set to wear." ”

"You can't!" Dr. Yu shook his head and laughed, "You're too fat and shapeless." ”

The three laughed and took a taxi home together.
