Chapter 367 Computer Display

Mr. Scott, Executive Chairman of the California Board of Education, Mr. Donald, Chief Public Education Deputy Director of the California Department of Education, Ms. Selsey, Director of the Los Angeles County Department of Education, and John Chambers personally accompanied the three heavyweight guests on the stage It becomes the stage of the computer class classroom for close observation.

Pete, the narrator invited by Dingtian Company, said enthusiastically: "Dear Mr. Coster, Mr. Donald and Ms. Selsey, I am Pete. Acorn) company's upcoming product - abc computer, I will give you a brief explanation of its performance!
Everyone knows that the most popular computer on the market is the Apple series of computers from Apple.At the Anaheim Computer Show not long ago, Mr. Jobs just launched the latest Apple3 computer, which sold for a whopping $4500!
This acornbestputer computer from Acorn, referred to as abc for short, is divided into two types: basic and enhanced.Among the 31 computers in the classroom, the one on the teacher's desk at the front is the improved abc-2 with powerful performance, and the other 1 students' computers are the basic abc-[-].

The abc computer, like Apple's apple series computers, uses the 6502 processor authorized by mos technology company.Compared with Apple, our products have three outstanding advantages, the price is lower, the performance is closer, and the service is better!
Since the beginning of the year, memory manufacturers in Japan, led by Sharp and nce, have successively lowered the ex-factory prices of 32k memory chips, and launched a fierce price war with semiconductor suppliers in the memory field such as Intel and Texas Instruments.

The cost of memory chips accounts for a large proportion of the manufacturing cost of a personal computer, so the continuous decline in memory prices will naturally reduce the manufacturing cost of computers.Apple's apple series computers are selling very well in the market, so Boss Qiao naturally doesn't think about reducing the price.

Dingtian Company, as a newcomer to the market, price war is the best weapon, so Li Xuan simply decided to directly give back to consumers by improving the allocation of this part of the interests that did not belong to him.

The lecturer John continued to say: "The superior performance of the abc computer is not only reflected in its special design of dual CPUs, but also in the design of other accessories, our developers at Aikon are also unique!
Please see that this is a key-102 keyboard specially designed by our company for abc computers with independent technology patents!Many of its functions will be shown to you one by one in the on-site teaching later! ..."

The abc computer is not promoted under the brand of Dingtian company RoyalTek like the previous arcade and handheld computers, but with the brand of Acorn (Acorn) for promotion, highlighting its background in the country of John and weakening the parent company Dingtian The company's cigarettes.

The vast majority of beautiful Chinese people don't even know where Xiangjiang is, and they really can't be associated with high-end high-tech products such as computers.If the origin of the abc computer is a place that many people in the beautiful country do not know, the consumers in the beautiful country will have a sense of distrust subconsciously.

In contrast, it would be much better to wear a piece of sheepskin from John's country. At least John's country is one of the few developed countries next to the beautiful country, and it is also conducive to promotion in the beautiful country's local and European markets.

Chandler Thomas, column editor for Enthusiast magazine, had just arrived at the auditorium.Dingtian company spent a lot of money on advertising in the magazine "Computer Enthusiast". He received the invitation from Dingtian company, so he naturally wanted to come to appreciate it.

In the auditorium of the Pasadena Middle School auditorium, there are already many guests who have received invitations and specially come to participate in this unique computer teaching exhibition.Thomas glanced around and estimated that there were about three or four hundred people.

He looked at the background layout on the stage, and he could roughly guess the purpose of Dingtian Company for holding this exhibition.Thomas found several acquaintances, Mr. Wilson, the education commissioner of the San Marino School District, Ms. Fiona, the principal of Huntingdon Middle School, Mr. White, the principal of San Marino High School, and Ms. Li Wang, the chairman of the San Marino High School Board of Trustees.

San Marino is an affluent, middle-class town attached to the city of Pasadena.Thomas' home is in San Marino. His youngest daughter and second son are studying at Huntington Middle School and San Marino High School respectively.He is also a member of the San Marino High School Parents Committee, so he is no stranger to these people not far away, so he walked up to greet them with a smile on his face.

Dingtian Company really put a lot of thought into holding this demonstration. The school district education committee, the principal, the chairman of the school board, and the representatives of the parent committee invited all the four most critical personnel who determine the operation of a school.

The school district is in charge of the distribution of federal and state education funds, the principal is the highest decision-maker of the school, the school board of directors is the supervisory party, and the parent committee is an important force influencing school policies.Especially in affluent school districts like San Marino, the annual donations from parents are the most important supplement to school finances in addition to the public funds allocated by the government.

Principal White asked Thomas curiously: "Mr. Thomas, I think the scale of the organizer's exhibition is not small. I don't seem to have heard of the brand Aikon Computer? Do you have any news?"

Thomas replied: "Mr. White, as far as I know, this is a John's country computer company, and it is preparing to enter the beautiful country's market with great ambitions!"

Thomas suddenly thought that in the financial budget of San Marino High School for the next school year, there was a fund of [-] US dollars for the construction of computer classrooms.He estimated that Principal White probably came because of this incident.

So he asked suspiciously: "Mr. White, how is the construction of the school's computer classroom going? Can it be put into use before the next semester starts?"

White replied: "The school has already decided to buy [-] Apple computers. It just so happens that this Icon company has such a new computer promotion meeting. Their salesperson said that this abc computer is more powerful than the Apple computer, and the price is lower." But it is cheaper, and a networked system is specially designed for school teaching, so Ms. Li Wang and I came here to have a look.”

The guests who arrived at the auditorium in advance gathered in small groups to discuss and communicate in a low voice.A warm voice came from the PA system at the venue, and everyone present fell silent.

"Dear gentlemen and ladies, the computer teaching demonstration class organized by Aikon Computer is about to begin. I am Odin, the substitute teacher for this computer class. Dear guests, please find a good seat and sit down!

Please cooperate with this on-site classroom teaching below. Thirty students from the tenth grade of Pasadena High School will enter the venue. "

With a burst of warm applause in the auditorium, a group of lively and cheerful students walked from behind the scenes to the simulated classroom in the center of the stage. As usual in class, three or five friends chose their own seats to sit down.The atmosphere in the auditorium seemed to have entered the rhythm of the classroom at once.
