Chapter 415: Stegosaurus goes public
New York
July 4th.
Rumi held Darsha in his arms and walked down Pittman Avenue towards Bernie's computer store on East 233rd Street. He walked briskly today, looking like Uncle Sunshine in a breakfast cereal commercial, and Rumi's wife, Emily, followed him with a stroller, along with Tom and a few other netizens from the New York Actuary Exchange Group.
On Pittman Street, almost all shops today have Star-Spangled flags planted in front of their doors, the streets are bustling with people shopping during the Independence Day holiday, the streets are as lively as the Saturday flea market started early, young people walk the streets in droves, couples stand in front of roadside grocery stores and both hold ice cream cones and laugh while eating, children look around with their eyes wide open in their strollers, church bells in the distance don't want money, lazy echoes drift under the gray sky, the sun becomes more dazzling the closer to noon, and the cafes are crowded with tired homeless peopleγ
"Emily, you're so generous, Rumi thought you'd just agree to give him a graphics card with a coprocessor. Tom laughed.
"That's how you see me, am I a miser? Darsha's good father deserves a new computer as a reward for spending every night with his children for these two months. Alimi humored.
When Rumi heard this, he turned around with his daughter in his arms, kissed his wife on the cheek, and said with a smile: "Darsha's good father is very happy to hear such a beautiful compliment from Darsha's good mother. β
So the netizens laughed and continued to walk forward, turning the corner, and finally came to the Bernie computer store.
Rumi was clearly aware of the latest product launches in the store, where the latest computer equipment from the last quarter was on display.
"Is this guy using a stegosaurus?" asked Rumi, "Is there anything out of the ordinary?"
The owner, Bernie, saw at a glance that Rumi was really here to spend money, and according to his experience, the first one in the crowd of people who walked into the computer store must be ready to buy something, so Rumi personally followed him as soon as he entered the door.
"What's unusual? 512K L2 cache! Unusual enough! In addition to Intel's high-frequency Pentium processors, what other manufacturer on the market can provide such a huge amount of L2 cache? Only Cyrix!"
Bernie spread his hands and continued to talk: "I can see that you are very discerning, now that you have an idea, you don't have to hesitate anymore, it's right to choose this assembly machine!"

Tom leaned in, "Hey, amazing value for money, isn't it?"
Rumi rubbed his chin, "What do you think?"
Tom licked his lips and looked at the HP 600 next to him with a price tag of $3999, and the boss Bernie hurriedly said: "Of course, the brand machine here is more traditional and more secure, and the after-sales maintenance is provided by HP, but the price of HP's door-to-door maintenance is not cheap." β
Rumi asked, "How do you repair your assembly machine?"
Bernie said: "The assembly machine in our store can provide you with free replacement service within three months, that is to say, including the monitor, all accessories are broken within three months and immediately provide free replacement service, in addition to three free on-site repairs within a year, but the maintenance fee is calculated separately, of course, you can also send the computer, so as long as you pay the maintenance fee, I guarantee that the price is fair, much cheaper than HP's after-sales service." β
Bernie swallowed, "Hey, look what I'm talking about, a computer built by Bernie's computer store configuration will never break, you don't need to worry about this impossible thing." Bernie looked at Emily, who was sitting quietly in the stroller, and smiled, "Unless your daughter or pet pees on the plug, hehe, this kind of thing happens a lot, believe me, I've encountered a lot of wires that have been bitten by dogs, all kinds of strange things, but rarely technical failures." β
Rumi scoffed, "I don't have a dog, and my daughter doesn't have the habit of marking the territory at home. β
Bernie smiled, "Then you are undoubtedly the best candidate for this host!"
Tom focused on fiddling with the HP 600, opened the hardware configuration of indos95 and said: "Pentium 150MHz, motherboard with Youying Overlord coprocessor, 8M memory, 650M hard disk ......"
Rumi glanced at the price tag, frowned, and said, "$4,888? It's not worth the price at all!" After speaking, he said to Bernie: "I want this one, and the monitor doesn't need to be replaced." β
Seeing that her husband had chosen, Emily stepped forward and asked softly, "Honey, your current monitor is much smaller than this one." β
Tom said: "The point distance is not the same, and this 0.28 image performance is more delicate. β
Emily smiled at her husband and said, "Let's change it." β
Rumi was pleasantly surprised, and hurriedly said to Bernie, "Boss, add a monitor to me!"
Bernie snapped his fingers excitedly: "Good choice! You will know that the bigger the screen, the better your mood will be, and it will also be good for your eyesight." β
Rumi smiled, turned to Emily and said, "Thank you, sweetheart." β
Emily smiled: "In the next two months, you will continue to take care of the child at night until she goes to bed, I don't want to see you sit in front of the computer and chat in front of several QQ groups until midnight after work." β
Rumi raised his hand to his chest: "I promise." β
Tom smiled and shook his head, obviously not believing in his old friend's promise, and exercising restraint in the face of the new computer was a torture for the networm, and Rumi was able to spend every night with the child because the computer was so slow that he felt anxious every time he went online.
Then Emily left the address after swiping the card to pay, and the three of them walked to the software area with their children, where they met with other netizens and bought together.
Like the Rumi, Cyrix's Stegosaurus processors are being brought home by thousands of people in the North American market on Independence Day.
At this time, there were still nearly two months before Intel sold his Pentium MMX.
Intel is anxious......
