Schiller decided to buy himself a computer.

In his previous life, Schiller also had a computer, and when he was studying abroad, he assembled a desktop computer by himself, and after becoming a professor, he basically only used the office notebook issued by the school.

All Schiller's electronic assembly levels are basically the same, and if you want to say what it is, you still have to ask the trash can of S.H.I.E.L.D. that contained a lot of discarded parts.

In this era, assembling a computer is not just about buying good parts and installing them in the chassis, and assembly can be about the same as building it by hand, so assembling a desktop computer is not in Schiller's choice from the beginning.

Then the only thing left is to buy a finished machine, but Schiller still prefers to buy a laptop, which can solve the two problems of no computer in the office and the manor at the same time, although the laptop in this era is not thin and light, but it is okay to drive the car.

Greed had a laptop he got from Marvel in the gray mist, but this laptop was made for him by Stark, and it could be thrown through the moon, which was a bit too advanced for Schiller, who just wanted to check his email, so Schiller still planned to buy one himself.

Schiller and Merkel drove to the South End's High Street, where the Gotham Electronic Equipment Sourcing Center is located.

Thanks to the vigorous development of Gotham's logistics industry, it has also become the largest electronic component warehousing center on the East Coast, and many large electronic equipment groups have set up logistics warehouses here, and the retail electronics industry for ordinary people has grown far beyond other cities on the East Coast in just two years.

In this era, there are not many people who own computers, and mobile phones are basically only affordable for the rich, but people are still entering the electronic information age, refrigerators, televisions, fax machines, video recorders, stereos, electronic doorbells, and Gotham people with slightly better living conditions have one or two things at home.

The Gotham Electronic Equipment Purchasing Center was in an entire commercial building, and as soon as Schiller drove his car nearby, he found that the parking space here was overcrowded, and he had to go around two more streets to find a parking space in the back alley of the building.

After getting out of the car, before entering the building, I saw a bustling crowd of people coming and going at the gate, mostly young people and families, dressed in fashion.

Gotham isn't a fashion capital, but in this crazy city, people are fashionable enough to see photographers who look like outsiders doing street photography in the square in front of them.

Finally, there was some millennial weather, Schiller thought, and walked into the building of the Electronic Equipment Purchasing Center.

It's not an electronic hypermarket, but a different office for each brand, and each one has a promotional brochure of their fist products on the newspaper shelf at the door of the office, so you can read it outside the door and decide whether you want to go in or not.

There are also some companies that have set up exhibition stands, mostly concentrated on the first floor, which is also the most crowded place, Schiller has a clear goal, so he is not in the mood to hang out, he goes directly to the elevator to the fourth floor, and finds the two largest offices here.

The two offices belong to two companies, one owned by the Wayne Group and the other by the Luther Group.

Where else can you go to buy electronics in the DC world? Now the world's most famous computer system is not Microsoft's system, but Wayne's system, Apple, Sony and other brands also have to stand aside, whether it is hardware or software, Wayne and Luthor are the real giants.

This is not surprising, Bruce Wayne did not be busy with Batman's career as soon as he debuted, but studied in college for several years, and there was not much time to study psychology in recent years, and all disciplines except psychology have been studied to the point of reaching the peak, including the development of computer software and hardware.

In early 1994, the Wayne Group introduced a new laptop with the Wayne 1994 system, and yes, the boot pattern was a bat.

Schiller suspected that Bruce probably developed a technology similar to the windows 95 direct access to the GUI interface in order to make the bat pattern appear unsuspectingly in front of everyone's eyes.

And it is more likely that he developed the computer system just to make the bat pattern visible to the world.

Schiller picked up the Wayne Group's product brochure and looked at it, and found that the Wayne Group handles almost all categories of electronic products, including all kinds of household appliances, and the first page of the brochure is printed with a brand new laptop.

Unlike today's laptops with 16-inch screens, laptops of this era are more like notebooks, a small boxy box, the screen is very small, and the keyboard is compressed as much as possible.

Schiller believes that Bruce definitely thought about changing the logo to a bat, and the failure to change it may be due to the desperate obstruction of other shareholders of the Wayne Group, after all, bats have a bad meaning in some areas and may affect computer sales.

After reading the product manual, Schiller did not immediately decide, he came to the door of another company, and the Luther Group's laptop was much more normal.

Just about two months ago, the Luthor Group also launched their latest laptop, the "Human Light L2", which is also equipped with the new Luthor system.

The shopping guide on the Luthor Group side was quite enthusiastic, and when they saw someone reading the product manual, they immediately rushed out of the office, and before Schiller could say what he wanted to buy, they had already brought the latest laptop.

The shopping guide immediately opened the laptop to show Schiller the interface, the Luther Group's laptop interface is quite fancy, and the user interaction is very advanced, it looks like an XP system.

Schiller hesitated, originally a person who was familiar with Batman's technical capabilities would definitely choose Wayne Group's products as much as possible, because the quality of Battech must be guaranteed.

But Schiller really can't stand the backward user interaction system of this era, and no matter what he does, he has to enter a series of codes.

Everyone thought that Schiller didn't like to receive e-mails and was old-fashioned and unwilling to accept advanced electronic devices, but only Schiller himself knew that he didn't want to be tormented by these backward old machines.

"Sir, if you have requirements for convenience and family interaction, you must choose our L2, which greatly improves the convenience of the user interaction interface than L1, simplifies the operation process as much as possible, and also has built-in multi-web operation saving, email account and password saving and other functions, if you frequently check email, this is really the best choice."

The shopping guide saw that Schiller was a buyer with purchasing power, and he was tempted by this product, so he worked hard to promote it, and then he took out the price tag and introduced.

"We're in a three-month promotion period, and we can give you a 7% discount, the original price of $9,200, after the discount, only $6,440, which is a tax-included price, you must not miss ......"

Schiller looked back at the Wayne Group's boxy black box, and then at the Luther Group's silver-gray design and without any logo on the whole body, and there was a hint of hesitation in his heart.

Ten minutes later, Merkel put the box with the Wayne logo in the trunk of the car, he took the driver's seat, Schiller took the passenger seat, and the two drove back to the Rodriguez estate.

When he returned, Schiller called back Halle and Barry, who were playing in the garden, and asked Merkel to take them to a shower and change their clothes, and then put the box containing the computer on the coffee table.

"Wow, you bought a computer?!!" Harley immediately screamed and threw herself on the computer box and said, "Hurry up! Tear it apart, I'm going to play the game! ”

Schiller sat down on the couch across from him and took a sip of his coffee, then said, "Help me bring up the email interface first, and after I read the email, you can use it as you please." ”

Barry and Hallie were busy unpacking the computer box, and after a while, they took out the boxy black laptop from inside, and Harley struggled to hold the seven-pound laptop and look it up and down, left and right.

"I bet the boot pattern is a bat."

"Don't bet on the obvious."

Hallie and Schiller looked at each other, sighed in unison, Hallie put the laptop on the coffee table, Merkel brought the power supply, and after plugging it in, the screen quickly lit up.

Hallie and Barry frowned and began fiddling with the computer, and after about ten minutes, Hallie looked up and said, "This system is a piece of shit." ”

Barry also sighed and said, "It's too troublesome, and if you want to access the web page, you have to write a piece of access code yourself." ”

Schiller took the notebook handed over by Merkel, wrote his email address on it with a pen, and handed it to Hallie, who typed on the keyboard for a long time before turning the laptop around and said, "Okay, this is your mailbox, call us after you finish reading, let's go have something to eat first." ”

With that, Hallie pulled Barry away, and Schiller began to fiddle with the laptop on his own.

Merkel stood behind Schiller with her coffee and watched as Schiller clicked around the screen with very inflexible movements.

Many people may not understand,There is no such thing as UI design in the more backward web pages,Whether a place can be clicked only after the click is known,There is no modern web page that hovers over the button and clicks on the smooth design of the animation。

Schiller was busy for a long time, and Merkel looked tired, so he took a sip of coffee and asked, "Sir, why don't you buy a Lutor laptop?" That seems a lot more convenient. ”

After taking a sip of his coffee, Schiller sighed and said, "Maybe it's because I like black." ”

Rumbling thunder rang out in the sky, dark clouds gathered over the city again, and within minutes the rain was pouring down, and the people of Gotham finally got a taste of what it means to be a long drought and nectar.

The heavy rain that had not been seen in a long time finally dispelled the annoying sweltering heat briefly, and a hearty rain rained from afternoon to night, until the Gotham night was cool and humid again.

When Schiller looked up again, lights lit up all over the manor, a warm hazy glow in the humid air.

Schiller moved his aching neck, and said angrily and depressedly, "This computer has the beauty of a supercomputer." ”

At this moment, there was a "click" and two child screams from the back garden.

When Merkel and Schiller walked to the door leading to the back garden, they saw a familiar figure on the branch of the familiar tree - it was Batman.

At this moment, Merkel has a new understanding of Batman's ability to hit the muzzle of a gun.

Bruce: Hi
