The waiting time was the most boring, and Xiao Fei decided to go around the train station.

In 1996, the pattern of X city was far less than that of later generations, it was just a small and medium-sized city in the inland area, and there were not many buildings with more than seven floors in the urban area, but the streets were still clean and tidy, and the greening was not bad.

In his previous life, Xiao Fei had never been to X City during this time period, but after the new millennium, he had visited it many times, and he was still familiar with the streets and alleys of this city.

He carried his bag alone and walked slowly along the boulevard.

Unexpectedly, I saw a door not far away, with the words "Chunguang Computer Room" written on it.

At this time, the Internet was just emerging in China, and personal computers gradually developed with the popularization and application of the plague dead operating system, and began to enter the homes of ordinary people.

Xiao Fei remembers that the first Internet café in China should have opened in SH in May this year, and the name of this Internet café is "Vigate Computer Room".

At this time, surfing the Internet in an Internet café is definitely a high cost, charging as much as 40 yuan per hour, and you can only play computer games or BBS online, send an email or something.

Subsequently, China ushered in a boom in the development of Internet cafes.

Xiao Fei didn't expect that there would be a computer room in X City, but I don't know if there is Internet access here.

He walked into the computer room.

The layout inside is not large, there is only one room, about 30 square meters, and there are ten computers opposite each other in the middle, and there are four or five people playing.

Xiao Fei glanced at his eyes and saw that these people were playing red police, and they were fighting in full swing, screaming, obviously excited.

"Do you want to play with the computer?" A seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl at the door glanced at Xiao Fei and asked.

"How much is an hour?" Xiao Fei asked.

The girl replied, "10 dollars." ”

This price is really not cheap in an inland city like X City, and the average person's monthly salary is only enough to play a computer here for a day.

"Can you get online?" Xiao Fei asked the girl.

The girl raised her eyebrows: "Yes, the phone dials up the Internet, 30 yuan per hour." ”

As she spoke, she observed the look on Xiao Fei's face, and ordinary people would be shocked when they heard this price, 30 yuan was enough for the family's living expenses for ten days.

But Xiao Fei knew about the charges of Internet cafes at this time, so he naturally wouldn't be frightened, he just nodded and said lightly: "The price is really not cheap." ”

"It's costly!" The girl said with a smile.

Nowadays, there are two fees to pay for surfing the Internet, one is the telephone fee and the other is the Internet fee, both of which are charged by the minute. The cost of accessing the Internet is quite high.

Xiao Fei groaned.

He was curious to see what the Internet was like now.

But he knows that there is really nothing interesting about the Internet now, the information content is pitiful, and there is nothing to play.

Seeing Xiao Fei groaning, the girl thought that Xiao Fei was hesitating, and she was also eager to pull Xiao Fei as a customer, so she said, "How is it?" Is it still on? If you are on it, you can be given a discount appropriately. ”

"How much can you discount?"

"How long are you going to be on it?"

"Half an hour."

"Then I'll give you two dollars cheaper and charge you 13, okay?"

"And when does it start to count the time?"

This is exquisite, from connecting the complex and cumbersome modem to debugging the setup, and then dialing, I'm afraid it will take more than ten minutes, right?

The girl was very surprised, she didn't expect that the boy who looked quite rustic seemed to know a lot about the Internet.

"It's okay to start with the Internet connection, right?" The girl said.

"That's it." Xiao Fei nodded.

He just wanted to have an experience.

The girl took Xiao Fei to a computer and took out a bulky modem, which is commonly known as "cat".

Xiao Fei went online for the first time in his previous life in the winter of 2000, and he was still familiar with the sound of the modem. The girl skillfully connected the cat, and then began to dial up the Internet, Xiao Fei's ears sounded "squeak-" sound, and after more than a minute, the girl said, "Okay, you can go on." ”

Xiao Fei sat down on his seat.

In front of him is a big' ass 14-inch CRT monitor, and the screen shows the classic interface of the Plague Death 95.

This is what Xiao Fei didn't expect.

Win95 was only released in August 1995.,I didn't expect it to be used in this small computer room in X City.,Of course, it's piracy.。

There is IE browser 1.0 on the interface, and Xiao Fei directly clicked on the browser.

At this time, there was no search engine, and if you wanted to surf the Internet, you had to enter the exact URL directly into the address bar. Xiao Fei remembers that BJ Stone Lifang Company established its first website "Lifang Online" in April this year, and the website address is E, ISEE, and ICONQUER!

Beginning with Julius Caesar's domineering quote, he typed a long paragraph in English, regardless of whether there were grammatical errors or not, and sent the words out.

What he didn't expect was that international friends immediately came up to talk to him.

It's a really new feeling.

He chatted with someone in the virtual room of the chat room, and when he casually looked up, he saw that there were several people around him, all staring at his fingers flying on the keyboard with wide eyes.

"Holy! Computer whiz! Typing can be so fast! ”

"Awesome! Brother admired it to death, how did you practice? It's not a random fight, is it? ”

"This is actually a foreign website, and it is in English......"

It turned out that Xiao Fei's typing speed shocked everyone in the computer room. This made Xiao Fei sweat profusely, and he realized that he was indeed a little forgetful just now. In 1996, I was able to type proficiently on a computer, which was definitely a very powerful skill, and I could label my brain as a high-tech talent.
