Chapter 111 The IBM Computer in 1978!

Before that, computers were behemoths.

Now this IBM5110 computer weighs as much as 25 kilograms. Even if it is an easy-to-port computer, it may be difficult for an adult to carry it conveniently.

In Lin Xiuzhi's eyes, this IBM 5110 computer is really a giant.

"Lin Xiuzhi, ask if there is an Apple II computer."

After a while.

Lin Xiuzhi called back and said: "Boss, they are only cooperating with IBM, not Apple. If you want, it will take time to order from the United States, and it will take half a month at the fastest, or even a month." Get the goods."

The Apple II computer cost less than two thousand dollars, which was much cheaper.

However, there is no AppleII in Hong Kong for the time being, so it seems that they can only buy IBM computers first.

For Yang Ming, $25000 a set is nothing.

"First buy three IBM 5110 computers, send two to the Empire Group, and send one to the Mid-Levels Villa in Repulse Bay."

Yang Ming made it clear.

Lin Xiuzhi quickly bought three computers.

As the staff over there, I began to personally arrange for people to deliver the goods to the door.

Yang Ming did not continue to stay in the Imperial Group.

Take the car back to Repulse Bay Mid-Levels Villa.

When Yang Ming, Yang Jirong, and Li Yufang were having dinner in the restaurant, Lin Dezhong came over and said, "Young Master Yang, someone outside said to send a computer."

"Send it to the study on the third floor first."

Lin Dezhong went to arrange.

Yang Ming finished dinner there with his parents.

He didn't take a walk outside either. Ah Zhu and Zhong Chuhong pushed Yang Ming, who was in a wheelchair, up to the third floor building.

Yang Ming has already seen a fifty-jin-looking thing here that looks rather weird.

Neither Zhong Chuhong nor Ah Zhu had seen this thing before.

Naturally, this was also the first time Yang Ming had seen her.

Yang Ming knew that the IBM 5110 computer was the most popular computer in the world in 1978, and even monopolized 80.00% of the global computer sales market.

The sales volume of Apple II is not good, and it is only limited to the M country market.

IBM computers have been sold all over the world.

Looking at this strange computer, it is really far from the future desktop computer or even laptop computer.

Like the thinnest and lightest laptop in the future, it only weighs two or three catties.

It has to be said that technology is constantly developing and improving.

Now this computer, although the electronic integrated circuit board has been used, still looks relatively large.

"Master, what is this?" Azhu asked strangely.

"computer."

computer?

Ah Zhu couldn't figure it out.

This computer is too heavy. If the original desk is placed on it, it may be crushed and replaced after a long time.

Based on the current appearance of this computer, Yang Ming redesigned it with a simple drawing.

Azhu and Zhong Chuhong watched the young master draw the picture, but they couldn't see what it was.

"Master, what is this?" Azhu asked.

"Computer Desk."

This is a computer desk, which is used to install this computer.

I am asking Ah Zhu to take it to Lin Dezhong.

Lin Dezhong immediately sent someone to order the table according to what Yang Ming said.

After Yang Ming carefully read this computer, there was an English version of the instruction manual. Many people would definitely not know how to use this computer after seeing it.

Now IBM computers are actually using the DOS system they researched.

In fact, this kind of system is the predecessor of the later Microsoft Windows system, and it is very troublesome to use.

In addition, although this computer can work now, compared with future computers, it is very troublesome, because there is no Internet, and naturally it is impossible to connect to the Internet.

For a programmer and hacker like Yang Ming, when he saw this computer for the first time, he thought it was pretty good.

Especially in the late 70s, it was really not easy to have such a thing.

When Yang Ming looked away, he could only wait for the housekeeper to deliver the custom-made iron-frame computer desk, plug it in, and then start using it for work.

Even without Zhong Chuhong, Yang Ming could read the newspaper and record on the computer at the same time, which would be much easier.

It's past eight o'clock in the evening.

Yang Ming went to take a bath.

Back to the study.

As usual, finish sorting out those stock market information.

Yang Ming began to focus on games.

In Yang Ming's previous life, when he was studying in Xiangjiang, he also studied games for a period of time. For those complicated games, he must not be able to do it alone.

Those simple games, including "Space Invaders", as long as Yang Ming has the current computer, he can actually program and design them.

It's just that Taidong's game designer genius Xijiao Youhong has already developed it and is about to launch it. It is impossible for Yang Ming to rush to the market before him.

Unless it is the successful acquisition of Taito Co., Ltd., or the acquisition of this unlisted ownership.

"Master, what are you drawing?"

Zhong Chuhong and Ah Zhu were still on the sidelines.

Ah Zhu saw that Yang Ming seemed to be drawing something there, but he couldn't understand it.

"It's a game, you'll know it in the future."

Yang Ming smiled.

In fact, arcade games are too simple for Yang Ming now, even if he is asked to play them, he doesn't even want to play them.

For people in this day and age, it's just as commonplace as "Space Invaders" will be a hit around the world, and even trigger the coming golden age of arcades.

"Usually I'm not at the villa, what do you do?"

"Master, Chu Hong and I have nothing to do."

However, Zhong Chuhong worked in Yang's villa, and she discovered the benefits of studying more and more.

In the Yang family, as long as there is nothing to do, she will spare time to read newspapers or books.

As for Ah Zhu, she was very relaxed, either watching TV or chatting with Li Yufang.

"You too?"

"Young Master Yang, I'll read a book." Zhong Chuhong said.

"It's good to read more books."

12:00 in the evening.

Yang Ming asked the two girls to rest first.

Yang Ming was still sitting in the study.

Take a night off.

Early the next day.

Yang Ming got up, washed his face, changed his clothes, and went downstairs in a wheelchair. Lin Dezhong came over and said, "Young Master Yang, the computer desk you designed has been delivered."

"so fast?"

I have to say that with a lot of money, everything will be done quickly.

It's just a normal computer desk, not too difficult at all.

From what Yang Ming saw in the past, it was the computer desk he designed, but it was mainly designed with steel plates, so it must have a much stronger bearing capacity.

Lin Dezhong was sent up to the study on the third floor, and then moved the computer to the computer desk.

Yang Ming went back to the Federal Building after breakfast.

Go up to the chairman's office on the 29th floor of the Imperial Group. The computer ordered yesterday has also been delivered to the chairman's office.

When it was moved to the table, Lin Xiuzhi and others thought it looked awkward.

When Yang Ming saw it for the first time, he thought it was very good. He felt that an office without a computer was not an office at all.

"Boss, is this computer placed here?"

"That's right, put it here."
