At the MACOS press conference, Xu Guanwu's family was really out of place with the atmosphere in the venue. The people who came to the press conference were either journalists, investors, bankers, computer enthusiasts, computer practitioners, etc., and each of them seemed to be quite fanatical, anxiously waiting for this revolutionary operating system to be born.

Xu Guanwu's family even brought their children here, and it didn't look like they were going to the meeting, but more like they were here to go shopping. The people around them looked at them in amazement, as if they were strange geeks.

Xu Guanwu didn't bother to pay attention to these people, he had just met Steve backstage. Jobs & Stephen. WOZNEK, AND HAVE SEEN THIS MACOS OPERATING SYSTEM IN ADVANCE. ALTHOUGH IT IS NOT A LITTLE WORSE THAN THE 98\XP\WIN7 HE USED BEFORE, BUT IN FACT, XU GUANWU WAS QUITE SURPRISED.

Seeing that Jobs and Woznik were making final preparations for the press conference, Xu Guanwu didn't want to disturb them anymore, so he took his wife and children out of the backstage, came to the scene of the press conference, and found the front seat and sat down. The people in the back couldn't help but be a little surprised when they saw this family sitting in front as if watching a movie.

THEY'RE SO FOND OF COMPUTERS, SO DREAMING OF GETTING CLOSE TO THIS MACOS OPERATING SYSTEM, AND NOW THEY'RE FAR AWAY, IT'S SO UNFAIR THAT GUY SITS SO FAR IN FRONT WITH HIS WIFE AND CHILDREN. It makes sense to kick the family out and then vacate the seats for them to sit in.

They hurriedly approached the management of the press conference to complain, but the administrator completely shut them up with one sentence, "That's the largest shareholder of our Apple computer company." Stanley. Allow. ”

Xu Guanwu sat in the front row with Lin Qingxia and Zhao Yazhi holding their children. WAITING FOR THE OFFICIAL RELEASE OF THE MACOS OPERATING SYSTEM.

Soon I saw a master of ceremonies walk up to the stage. "Let's welcome the general manager of Apple Computer, Steve Brown. Mr. Jobs, Chief Engineer Stephen. Mr. Woznek came to power. ”

There was a round of applause from the audience, and if nothing else, Jobs and Woznek were sharp enough to grow from a penniless poor boy to a billionaire in five years.

The two took the stage hand in hand, and handed the microphone to Jobs, "Thank you for joining us today, and I suggest that you keep the ticket in your hand." It will be memorable in the future because it bears witness to a piece of history. STARTING TODAY, THE ERA OF PERSONAL COMPUTERS HAS OFFICIALLY BEGUN, AND PEOPLE WILL ENJOY THE FUN THAT PERSONAL COMPUTERS BRING ME, AND NOW ALLOW ME TO INTRODUCE YOU TO THE LATEST MODEL OF APPLE III. COMPUTER, AND ITS GRAPHICAL VISUALIZATION OPERATING SYSTEM MACOS! ”

After Jobs finished speaking, Woznek stepped forward and lifted the tablecloth on the table, and a very beautiful computer slowly rose from below under the support of the elevator, and then spun in circles at an even speed. So that the people in the audience can enjoy it from various angles.

"OUR APPLE III. COMPUTER IS PAIRED WITH A 10-INCH MONITOR, AND AT THE HEART OF IT IS A BLAZING-FAST CPU MADE BY MOTOROLA WITH A COMPUTING RATE OF MORE THAN 8 MEGABYTES, PLUS A MASSIVE 128K MEMORY. 3.5-inch floppy disk and 875KB storage capacity. Jobs said passionately.

THE HARDWARE CONFIGURATION OF THE APPLE III. COMPUTER MAY SEEM HUMBLE TODAY, BUT IT WAS THE MOST TOP-OF-THE-LINE AT THE TIME. Every time Jobs introduced an item, he listened to the audience with admiration, which made Xu Guanwu cry and laugh.

Just when Jobs introduced the configuration of this computer, Woznik on the side had also started the computer, to Xu Guanwu's surprise, the computer boot time was very fast, almost took 30 seconds to start successfully, and it was accompanied by a simple welcome picture, as well as a beautiful electronic music.

Seeing that this computer can start up so quickly, and the picture color and so on are far beyond other similar products, the audience applauded even more enthusiastically. Xu Guanwu was also surprised by Apple's optimization of this operating system, and it is really a remarkable thing that the computer can boot up so quickly with such a simple configuration.

As soon as the computer boots up, it goes to the desktop. The camera next to it immediately pointed the lens at the tabletop and projected it onto the big screen through the projector, so that everyone could see it clearly.

When people see several big icons displayed on the desktop, such as "My Computer", "My Documents", "Recycle Bin", "Applications", "Games and Entertainment", etc., they can't help but be stunned.

At this time, Woznek picked up the mouse in front of the computer, which was a milky white mouse, which could just be held in one hand.

"Guys, now Woznek is holding a mouse in his hand, what is the mouse for?" Jobs asked with a smile, and everyone in the audience showed blank expressions, "Then let Woznek demonstrate it." ”

Woznek deftly drags the mouse, and people can look through the big screen and find a cursor arrow on the computer screen, constantly moving its position as Woznek drags.

Then Woznek clicked on "My Computer", and my computer immediately turned blue, and the audience let out an exclamation, people with smart brains already know what it does.

Woznek continued, double-clicking twice in a row, and the "My Computer" icon immediately expanded, and a window appeared on the desktop. On the big screen, people can see Woznek's double-click operation, as well as the changes in the content on the computer screen. Many people now understand the function of the mouse.

It's so convenient that this thing that looks like a little mouse can choose what it wants so flexibly. With this little guy, you can save a lot of keyboard operations, which is amazing. You know, people used to choose to open the stored files in their computers, but they needed to use the keyboard to enter one code after another. But now it's clear that people can just double-click with this mouse and choose the file they want to manipulate at will. OF COURSE, THIS IS ALSO THANKS TO MACOS, A VISUAL OPERATING SYSTEM, SO THAT FILES CAN BE CLEARLY ARRANGED.

Woznek then used the mouse to demonstrate various applications such as opening, closing, dragging, shrinking, and enlarging windows, which won bursts of applause from the audience.

"Everyone. Application of the mouse. will liberate one hand of man. It doubles the efficiency of work, and it is a new breakthrough in the history of personal computer development. Jobs shouted loudly, and everyone in the audience was also overjoyed and applauded him together.

Xu Guanwu was also excited to listen to it below, but he didn't expect Jobs to have such a superb incitement, no wonder he always presided over the Apple conference in later generations, which really made Xu Guanwu admire it too much.

AFTER JOBS INTRODUCED THE FUNCTIONS OF THE MOUSE, HE BEGAN TO FOCUS ON THE OPERATING SYSTEM MACOS. The operating system is a 16-bit operating system that can handle multiple tasks at the same time, and it uses very little memory to run, which allows the operator to run other programs more smoothly.

THE MACOS OPERATING SYSTEM IS BASED ON THE UNIX KERNEL, AND APPLE'S SOFTWARE ENGINEERS LED BY JOBS AND WOZNICK HAVE GIVEN A LOT OF OPTIMIZATIONS AND DESIGNED A VARIETY OF APPLICATIONS THAT CAN BE USED TO DO A LOT OF WORK.

OF COURSE, MACOS MAINLY PROVIDES A VERY GOOD PLATFORM FOR SOFTWARE DEVELOPERS, AND MANY PEOPLE WHO LOVE COMPUTER PROGRAMMING CAN PORT THEIR OWN PROGRAMS TO THIS COMPUTER, BECAUSE IT HAS OBTAINED THE LICENSE OF MICROSOFT BASIC LANGUAGE, AND ALL PROGRAMS DEVELOPED BASED ON THE BASIC LANGUAGE. can all run smoothly on this. FOR THAT ALONE, MACOS HAS WON THE PRAISE OF ALL IT PEOPLE.

IN ADDITION TO THE MACOS OPERATING SYSTEM. THE APPLE III. COMPUTER IS ALSO PRE-INSTALLED WITH VISICALC CHALK GRAY SPREADSHEET PROCESSING SOFTWARE AND MYWORD DOCUMENT PROCESSING SOFTWARE. THE NEW VISUAL CHALK ASH SPREADSHEET SOFTWARE WAS DEVELOPED BY APPLE COMPUTER, WHILE THE MYWORD DOCUMENT PROCESSING SOFTWARE WAS DEVELOPED BY MICROSOFT. Apple Computer originally came out with a document processing software of the same type, but after investigation, it was found that the smoothness of that software was not as good as Microsoft's, so in line with the principle of excellence, Jobs would rather give up his own software and install Microsoft's document processing software. HOWEVER, HE ALSO KNOWS THAT THE FUTURE OF DOCUMENT PROCESSING SOFTWARE MUST BE VERY BRIGHT, AND HE DOES NOT WANT TO BE GRABBED BY OTHERS, SO HE IS ASKING PEOPLE TO CONTINUE TO OPTIMIZE THAT SOFTWARE, AND STRIVE TO REPLACE MYWORD IN THE FUTURE.

In addition to these two office software, there are also two mini-games in the machine, one is known as the minesweeper that is played by the most people in the world, and the other is the popular "Tetris" all over the world, but since this game is produced by Xu Guanwu, it is a bit out of place to call it "Tetris", so its name is actually "Magic Cube".

When Woznek explained, he also demonstrated the gameplay of minesweeper and magic cubes, although the gameplay is very simple, but these small games actually have their own magic, which makes people stunned and itchy, and they can't wait to go up and play with them.

……

The whole press conference lasted for three hours, but it was not tiring at all, because Jobs's commentary was so passionate that he would blow the slightest little thing into the sky and the earth. It's like a 3.5-inch floppy disk machine, which is now basically a must-have for computers. HOWEVER, HE STILL INTRODUCED IN GREAT DETAIL THIS FLOPPY DISK MACHINE FOR APPLE III. TYPE COMPUTER, WITH THE OPTIMIZED DESIGN IN THE MACOS SYSTEM, THE READ RATE IS ONE AND FIVE TIMES THAT OF THE ORDINARY FLOPPY DISK MACHINE, AND IT ALSO HAS A PROTECTIVE EFFECT ON THE DATA OF THE FLOPPY DISK, AND GREATLY EXTENDS THE SERVICE LIFE OF THE FLOPPY DISK, ETC.

IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE THREE-HOUR LAUNCH, APPLE WAS CONTACTED BY RESELLERS TO ORDER THE NEW APPLE III. COMPUTER. For a while, the order volume was quite hot, and Xu Guanwu had already seen a flower on the smiling faces of Jobs and Wozniek.

However, he didn't pay much attention to this, the only thing he cared about was that the computer that Woznik had just used for the demo was so memorable that it would definitely sell for a high price in a few decades. He had already told Steve Jobs and Woznek that the computer would be his.

Jobs and Woznick naturally knew the value of this computer, not only as a computer, but also as a witness to this history, which they were reluctant to give. However, since Xu Guanwu has asked for it, it is not appropriate to refuse again.

SO THE TWO WATCHED XU GUANWU MOVE THIS APPLE III. AWAY, AND THEIR FACES TWITCHED IN DISTRESS.

"Wow Ka Ka, the world's first APPLEIII. computer, and it was operated by Woznek and Jobs themselves, pre-installed with the world's first graphical operating system, and it will definitely be sold for a high price in the future." Xu Guanwu couldn't help but smile proudly.

"Ah Wu, how much can this computer be worth, it's worth it to make you like this." Lin Qingxia asked curiously.

"At least a million dollars." Xu Guanwu said proudly, "This is a computer that has truly witnessed the development history of personal computers, and it is the only one in the world, which can be said to be priceless." (To be continued......)
