Reborn American Tyrant

Chapter 172 Fake IBM

At the beginning of the new year, William White is calculating how to swallow NBC and Disney cheaply. There are a large number of garage companies such as Guojiang Crucian, and Tiny Machine Company is a special one.

As we all know, International Business Machines is the full name of IBM. Coincidentally, it is also the first three letters of Tiny Machines. This company, which is still messing around in the garage, actually calls itself IBM.

You are international, then I am small, and it's no big deal.

For the personal PC market, IBM's judgment is indeed problematic. Not only will it be slapped by Wall Street, but also by a group of companies in the garage.

There is also that damn Apple who actually considers itself a leader in the industry, and that ill-intentioned Wright software. No matter what software is available, the first release is always the Apple system, and it is actually said that the system is stable.

Well, this is actually putting eye drops on the blue giant. They really don't understand. How did William White know that their system is unstable? This is the rhythm of hello to the waist!

They actually know that Motorola's 6700 has been released, and this thing is actually the same as the market expectation, which is the castrated version of the 6800.

The 32-bit channel is cancelled and the CPU frequency is reduced. The performance is far worse than 6800, but what about it, the price is very cheap!

Now Markkula is also struggling as to what chipset the Lisa computer uses, as William White said, it's easy to get caught up with the big steps.

The 6800 is not really a 32-bit processor, and its performance is stronger than that of the 6700, but it is a pity that the current memory is so expensive, you simply cannot install more than one megabyte of memory.

"Jobs, I think William White is right. Before large memory became popular, 32-bit channels were meaningless."

"Markula, that bastard is concerned about his own interests. If we lower Lisa's specifications, we must not be an opponent of IBM."

"However, the price is too expensive now, and this will cause problems."

"It should be fine, after all, the performance has been improved so much, it is reasonable to be more expensive."

Is it more expensive?After learning the news, William White was very speechless. You said it was more expensive than ten thousand dollars.

"Tom, don't worry about Apple. They have been dazzled by the success. It's time to make them sober. Pay attention to Wang An and Kang Maoda and tell them that it will be miserable for more than three thousand dollars."

"Okay, boss, let's do other systems first."

"Well, did MSDOS come out? Tell Giant Blue that we need at least six months."

"Ok."

16-bit CPUs are still a lot more than 8-bit processors, but the development of memory is delayed. 128KB does not give full play to the advantages of CPU, at least 512KB is required.

The crux of the problem is that now 256KB is considered high-tech, 512 is still a province, it is impossible in the past two years, even if the research and development is successful, the price will be desperate.

You say a trillion?

Don't be kidding, this thing does not belong to a personal PC.

16-bit CPUs have not been very long-lived in history. Apple's second-generation machines were still used in the 1990s, and this thing did not sell too much.

There are more than 10 million computers with 8-bit processors in the market. Only Apple’s second-generation computers exceed 5 million. However, Lisa computers are sadly urged. It is not known how many computers are sold. The number should be very rare. Yes.

Not to mention Apple, even the Big Blue hasn't sold too much, mainly because the price and performance do not match.

The current second-generation Apple is 6,600, far stronger than the historical ones. If Big Blue and Apple do not change, their sales will definitely be lower than in history.

This is actually an opportunity. It is a pity that instead of seizing this opportunity, Apple is doing all kinds of things.

The Lisa computer is ridiculously expensive, and the old Joe’s Macintosh is even more ridiculous. You don’t even have a hard drive and you have a graphical interface. You guys want to ask, where are you going to install the system?

The final operation is even more funny, Lisa has become an upgraded version of Macintosh.

Well, the Lisa computer with the graphical interface is really good, but the eldest brother, the Macintosh is in the range of three thousand dollars. If you sell one, you lose at least one thousand, so you can't play it.

The ancestors of the celestial dynasty said long ago that any business can be done, that is, a loss-making business cannot be done.

This sentence is very reasonable. For example, Apple, you can clean up the inventory. What should you do after cleaning up, your product line will collapse, and your Lisa computer will be used to measure the price. You really do everything Can't sell it.

William White originally wanted to prevent this from happening, but now it seems impossible. The inertia of history is so powerful, and the role of the individual is really limited.

This is not what William White has good intentions, he is only for his own benefit, since this road is not good, then he cannot abandon the thigh of the blue giant.

By the way, this pirated IBM is still very interesting. Otherwise, let's get sick of the Blue Giant. Those old guys are really hateful.

Someone intends to embarrass the giant blue, that tiny machine company will naturally become famous, and a few college students who are completely funny, suddenly become the darling of the media.

What kind of attitude these anti-mainstream guys have towards the Blue Giant is simply self-evident. In order to attract attention, the Blue Giant is of course repeatedly mentioned.

The media that should not be ethical even claimed that there may be two IBMs in the United States in the future, and the small machine company has great potential.

Although the IT industry knows that this is nonsense, this does not prevent this group of guys from joining in the fun. As a giant in the industry, there are certainly many people who are envious and hateful. Since some people are provoking the incident, everyone should just follow it.

The Blue Giants are now in a desperate situation. They are very powerful, but they don't spend much energy on their personal PCs.

If you don't invest resources, large companies are actually inferior to small companies. If nothing else, just giving a computer a name is pretty boring, almost a fruit war.

Well, whether bananas or mangoes, it seems that they are not as tasty as apples. After hearing this joke, William White felt like a thunderstorm.

Nima, if the compatible devices are all called bananas in the future, this is really too much. Why don't you call them a beast?

This is actually someone's unintentional mistake. The PC has been called on. This is the first used by IBM. The computers of this era were called fruit machines.

White software directly occupied the term PC, and now everyone is used to it. The Blue Giant can only continue to entangle various names.

MSDOS is as unreliable as it is unreliable. Intel's CPU is also unstable. As for other supporting software, there is no trace.

White Software?

Don't be kidding, how can people take it out now and let you copy it?

This is the original words of other White Software, so there is nothing to choke the IBMers.

To say that this is nothing wrong, William White is not so empty yet. It is no secret in the industry that Lotus Software, which received blood tonics, cooperated with Giant Blue.
