Chapter 57: personal computer
It has to be said that this prosthesis looks really inferior, and it is worthy of being a product from the 1960s.
"Well, now it's time to **** our injured Miss Kate home~" Lily continued to smile.
But just as a few people were about to leave, Lisa suddenly remembered something.
But maybe it was premeditated, or Catherine was in the middle of her arms.
"By the way, do you still remember that De Mello corset? The effect seems to be just right~" Lisa remembered the clothes so well that Catherine had forgotten about the birthday of Jenny last year.
"That doesn't match Kate's size."
"Actually, I have a replica over there...I made it myself. I originally wanted to give Catherine as a birthday gift, but I didn't expect that there is something as dreamy as Miss Monroe's dress in this world. "
"Maybe you can try it?"
Lily laughed, "Maybe my camera can be used again?"
"Hey, you can't do this!"
Catherine protested.
"Let’s go try it!"
"No! Never!"
Although she said so, Catherine still remembered the luxurious dress in her heart.
Although I don't have hands, the dress is really beautiful.
While Catherine was experiencing life with a disability, Bruce was far away in Georgia, where Catherine’s factory was located.
He is not busy with the sales of GameTV now, but for the stuff that was just launched a few days ago.
Catherine adopted an unlimited advertising bombing strategy for this product.
The overwhelming advertisements, from the report to the note posted on the toilet, are all this thing.
Among its advertising slogans, the most powerful one is-"Personal Computer"!
That's right.
From now on, computers will no longer be the privilege of large enterprises, and everyone can have their own computer!
Personal computer, it’s Catherine
Although the price of $1,200 is extremely high, there are many people staring at this computer.
This computer is based on a total of 8 CPUs and 4KB of memory, equipped with a 12-inch CRT screen. It's a veritable "eight-core CPU" (in fact, you can't say that).
Anyway, this computer is done.
Due to storage limitations and cost issues, Catherine set up five cassette slots for this all-in-one computer—that is, Catherine’s cassette slot—through this slot, Catherine developed various plug-ins.
Catherine integrated the DOS system she developed into the computer, and also left a 10KB memory.
As for those card slots, Catherine provides a variety of applications.
Microsoft computers are not only compatible with Xiaobawang games, but more importantly, they can also support various software applications.
However, Xiaobawang is aimed at children, but Microsoft Computer is aimed at young people and all kinds of adults.
At this time, there are quite a few people who are interested in computers. The sales trend of the "year" of Apple computers is the best example of this.
In the read-only memory, Catherine wrote Word software, printing software, etc., each cassette can only store one software, and it should be as streamlined as possible.
Although it is said to be "Word", in fact, it was made by Catherine based on the DOS version of WPS.
Because WPS is different from the office software developed by Microsoft, WPS is written in C language, and earlier, it used assembly language, a very concise and fast language. The Office software of Bill Gates’s classmate’s home is integrated with C++, C# (similar to JAVA, which is characterized by slow speed but good compatibility), various language libraries such as VB, and even various integrated program.
Programs written in assembly language and C language are characterized by small size and fast running. So the later WPS size was only 20MB, while Microsoft Office software has a size of 4GB.
However, the 10KB memory is too small, so this computer can be connected to an external memory.
After all, the cost of storage is really high now, which is also one of the reasons that limit the development of computers.
The 5MB storage is the size of a refrigerator, and the cost can reach 10,000 US dollars. Catherine does not want to provide additional storage.
However, she developed the memory in the company, which is divided into 1MB, 2MB, 5MB and other models.
Because fashionable appearance is the characteristic of Catherine's products, this product is very popular with other people. However, it is still large companies that are more likely to inquire about this memory.
They are very interested in the Word software developed by Catherine, or they are very interested in this software and its supporting electronic printer.
is completely different from a typewriter, it works completely electronically!
Although there is a photocopier these years, the photocopier can't modify the document, it can only rub the document completely. The typing efficiency of a typewriter is relatively low, but it is already too low, so such an electronic input printer is very eye-catching.
There is no need for a typewriter at all, just input the programs and documents in the computer, and you can print out what you want, which is really amazing.
They seem to realize that the advent of this printer and personal computer will greatly improve efficiency.
Imagine storing various file templates in your computer, and then when you need them, you can call them up, and then slightly modify them, you can turn them into an article, UU read www.uukanshu. Isn't com great?
Moreover, the efficiency of work has been greatly improved all at once, which is really a boon for the society where the pace of life is gradually increasing.
So, this thing labeled as a personal computer turned out to be various companies coming to ask for more...
Seeing this opportunity, Catherine simply developed an office version for $999.
This type of computer screen can only display gray-green and black, and there is no mouse.
As for why green is used instead of white, it is because Catherine considers that green is the most comfortable color for human eyes, and if you need to work, it must be a long time to stare at the screen, so she developed such a two-color The display, at the same time, cancels the memory and plug-in interface in the machine, as long as it is connected to the memory, it is enough, so that the interconnection between the computers can be simply realized.
It was not that Catherine had not considered the company’s business, but she had never thought that various companies would stare at Catherine’s products so much, so she chose to develop such a product.
After all, compared to a tens of millions of dollars supercomputer, such a computer is too convenient. Although the nature of the work may be somewhat different, there is no doubt that such a personal computer will better meet the needs of the company.
"Damn, I shouldn't have listened to Kate..."
Bruce complained.
If Kate and Emma hadn't instigated him, he would have been able to sit at home and drink coffee leisurely!
But in fact, Bruce is also happy, after all, he has an amazing daughter.
...
declare again, I am pure love, aestheticism, evil or something, I hate it the most...
