Chapter 83: The Rise of Lincoln (2)

"What, you want to upload a sample of the One-Step-Closer song to the website?" Mike Nobuta looked at Jerry in surprise.

"That's right." Jerry nodded.

"Website?" It's clear that Chavez-Bennington doesn't know what a website is at all.

Among the Xero bands, the only one who is more familiar with the Internet is Mike Nobuta.

"CBGB will soon have a plan to promote Xero. However, in the first step, CBGB will set up a personal website of the band Xero, and put your personal information in the band's personal website. Then upload the song demo to the website for pre-promotion. ”

"Wait, all of this needs to be done by CBGB? Somebody tell me, what is a website? Heineken Christopher, who was also apparently cyberblind, turned his head to look at Murf Ferguson and Lisa, "Do you know what a website is?" ”

Ferguson, who was wearing a hard hat, apparently didn't know.

"A novelty." Lisa Christopher didn't know how to explain what a website was to her old antique dad, "I don't know what to say." ”

β€œTry-Me。”

Although Heineken Christo asked Lisa to try as much as she could, Lisa, who was studying law, really didn't know how to explain it, even though she had used the school's intranet when she was at school.

"Heineken, do you have a computer here?" Jerry looked at Lisa's embarrassed face and said, "Bring a computer here, and I'll tell you what a website is." ”

"Computers? What's that? Heineken-Christoffern also doesn't know what a computer is.

The CBGB club never needed those things.

In the United States in 1996, whether it was the blue giant IBM, Compaq, Hewlett-Packard, or the high-spirited Dell, or the troubled Apple. They have already sold computers all over the world. However, in the bustling area of New York, Manhattan, the birthplace of world punk, CBGB, an underground punk city known for its avant-garde and rebellious, its owner, Heineken Christo, didn't know what a computer was.

"That's pretty cool stuff." Before Heineken Christother could see the computer, Jerry could only explain this.

Natalie Portman tilted her head and looked at her sweetheart with a helpless look, which also felt a little funny. What, is there anything else that can stump this guy?

She didn't know what kind of existence Heineken Christo was.

Avant-garde and rebellious, but stubbornly conservative.

This is Heineken Christoffer.

He is a complex of contradictions in his own right.

"Let's go upstairs, here, I can't explain to you what a computer is and what a website is." Jerry thought about it for a moment, and could only say that.

The management, located on the second floor of the CBGB club, has a lot of computers for office work.

The group came to the second floor in a grand way.

After greeting the staff, the group gathered around an IBM laptop.

The Thinkpad-560 produced by IBM in 1996. Epoch-making portable laptops.

Compared with the T1000 launched by Toshiba in 1985, I don't know how many times more advanced.

Because of the bundle sales cooperation with Microsoft, the Thinkpad-560 equipped with the Windows 95 Windows system is only 1.2 inches thick and ultra-thin body, and the whole machine weighs only 1.9 kg, in addition to that. It is also possible to transmit and communicate data wirelessly via infrared. Due to the outstanding overall thermal design and manufacturing, the ThinkPad-560 does not have a cooling fan at all. As soon as the blue giant's Thinkpad-560 was launched, it became the darling of the portable notebook market.

"That's it, computer?" Heineken Christo reached out and tapped on the IBM notebook. With a look of curiosity, "What can this thing do?" ”

"What it can do is not where we need to focus on it. What we need to focus on is what we can do. Jerry opened the browser directly. Then I went to Netgate's blog site.

The front page of the blog is loaded with a lot of stories about the Sixth Avenue clashes.

There are news from regular media such as Columbia Media, ABC Media, NBC Media, as well as interpretations from gossip newspapers such as the New York Post, Daily Entertainment, National Inquirer, USA Weekly, and, of course, more from well-known bloggers, such as Draghi.

"That's the website." Jerry put the blog in front of Heineken Christopher and told him simply and straightforwardly, "All we need to do is convert the demo of the record into a digital record and put it on a website like this for web surfers to download." ”

"Web surfers? Wait, Jerry, I still don't get it. Rob Bardem looked puzzled.

"There's a lot you need to learn. Rob! Jerry went directly to the website of the domain name service provider Go-Daddy and tried to register the URL of the band Xero, but was told that the URL of Xero had already been registered, "Mike, it looks like you have one more thing to do." ”

……

"Joseph ~ your letter." When Joseph opened the door and came home, his mother threw him a letter, "Dinner is at the table, don't forget, I have to go to work." ”

"Okay, Mom." Joseph threw his bag onto the couch, and he collapsed on the couch, and he held the letter up.

New York, Long Island High School? Looks like it's Mike again.

Since this childhood friend transferred from Los Angeles to Long Island High School in New York, this guy actually formed a high school band to participate in the ABC American Super Band Competition, and even won the runner-up of the American Super Band Competition. Joseph never knew that Mike Nobuta had such strength. This is not the first time he has received a letter from Mike, and he has not thought about Mike and the invitation of the band Xero, but his interest is in painting. Although his demos were popular at Glendale High School, DJ sampling and mixing was just a hobby, and he never thought that his future life would have anything to do with music.

"I don't know what this guy is going to say! Is there something that can't be said on the phone? Joseph tore open the envelope, and there was nothing persuasive in the letter, but only a website address.

Website address of the Linkin Park Band. (To be continued......)
