Our company has specially designed a software gift package for school customers. Each computer uses ten teaching software including the RoyalTek-Dos operating system. The package license fee is only US$200, which is US$4,400 for 22 computers!

Therefore, the total investment in building a computer classroom in your school is US$46,668. As for manual services such as installation and debugging, our company will provide them all for free, and also provide a one-year after-sales warranty service!"

White nodded after listening to the girl's words, thinking that it would only cost more than forty thousand dollars to build such a computer classroom. The school's budget of one hundred thousand dollars was enough to build two more computer classrooms.

White smiled and said: "Okay, thank you! I need to discuss it with other people before making a decision."

When the girl saw that the business was not concluded on the spot, she couldn't help but feel a little regretful. She wanted to find another opportunity to work hard for it, and said politely: "Sir, can you leave me a business card? I'll contact you after you think about it for a few days!"

White took out his business card and said with a gentlemanly smile: "This is my business card. I will make a decision soon in a few days. If my school chooses to buy your company's products, I will come back later."

Thank you for your service."

After he finished speaking, he stood up and gave up his seat to other people waiting for consultation. Unlike the principals of various schools who were generally concerned about how much money would be needed to build such a computer classroom, the computer teachers who came to the exhibition were very concerned about the computers and equipment on the booth.

I am more interested in online teaching systems.

The networked teaching system of Aikon Company was the prototype of later LANs. In 1979, Metcalf, who invented Ethernet, left Xerox's Palo Alto Laboratory and established what would become a famous communications network company, 3Com.

.3Com Company has already developed an Ethernet adapter, which is also commonly known as a network card.

3Com mainly designs network adapters for large and small central hosts such as IBM and Dec. They have not focused on microcomputers at all. Because microcomputers in this era are considered by most people only as personal toys for computer enthusiasts, and they are not at all

No internet connection required.

This situation would not change until a large number of PC compatible computers appeared in the mid-1980s and gradually replaced minicomputers in the business office field.

Bai Zirui realized the opportunity by virtue of his rebirth. Although microcomputers, known as personal computers, were far inferior to small computers in terms of performance, he was better because they were cheaper. For example, one could connect more than twenty computers.

The total investment for the computer classroom LAN is only US$50,000.

A dec company's vax system, which also has more than 20 users, requires at least 200,000 US dollars for a minicomputer and terminal equipment, and the minicomputer system also needs to build a special computer room, and the system administrator needs to undergo technical training. Not to mention a huge amount of money

The later maintenance cost, the initial investment of US$200,000 alone, is beyond the reach of most small and medium-sized enterprises.

Therefore, although the performance of the LAN system developed by Aikang Company is not necessarily very high, it is undoubtedly very attractive to schools and small companies.

Odin pointed to the chassis that was one size larger than the ABC computer mainframe under the desk on the podium, and introduced to the audience surrounding it: "This is the server required for networking. Its main task is to manage the network and store shared data.

, and at the same time serve as a bridge for data exchange between microcomputers.

Its performance is higher than that of ordinary microcomputers. You can think of it as a low-end version of a minicomputer. Our Aikon company's Internet server uses the Motorola 68000 processor.

Its use is not complicated. Our company has written an operation manual. If you know computers, you can get started after reading it once! If you encounter a problem that cannot be solved, our after-sales maintenance engineers from Aikang Company will

We’ll handle it within twenty-four hours.”

Everyone present was enthusiastically discussing the Internet operating system of Aikon Company. Several people who claimed to have good skills, after obtaining Odin's permission, personally operated it and felt the magic of this Internet system.

.

Thomas stood silently behind everyone, observing everyone's expressions of excitement or excitement. He had a keen intuition as a reporter. This Aikon company was well prepared this time, and it seemed that a new era was about to emerge.

Thomas went to the consultation area backstage. There were more people here than on the booth. There were long queues at all the fifteen consultation windows. Thomas was about to walk to one of the consultation offices to inquire about it when he saw Principal White not far away.

, Ms. Li Wang and several other people from San Marino High School were gathering together to discuss things.

Thomas walked close to them and heard a teacher say with great excitement: "This networking system from Aikon Company is so easy to use. It will make our teaching pressure a lot easier. I recommend that the number of people in each computer teaching class be,

The number of students can be increased from twenty to twenty-five, allowing more students to have the opportunity to take elective computer courses!"

Computer courses are not compulsory courses stipulated by the school district, but are elective courses prepared for students who are interested in computer knowledge. According to the original plan, each of the two computer teachers will only lead two teaching classes per semester, and each teaching class

Twenty students.

In other words, only 80 students in San Marino High School have the opportunity to take computer courses every semester. But if the teacher is willing to increase the number of students in each teaching class to 25, 100 students can take computer courses every semester, which is good for the school.

That's good news, naturally.

Principal White glanced at Ms. Li Wang, the chairperson of the school board beside him, and when she nodded in agreement, he made a decisive decision and said firmly: "Then it's decided. The school chooses Aikon's Internet connection.

Teaching system! I will sign an agreement with their company right away and ask their company to arrange for someone to come to the school to install the machine as soon as possible!"

The August issue of "Computer Enthusiast" magazine published: "Half a month ago, the author received an invitation from Dingtian Company for a personal computer campus display. The event was held in Pasa, not far from the author's residence.

Dinah High School, so the author decided to go and have a look with a relaxed mood!

The abc computer newly launched by Acorn, a subsidiary of Dingtian Company, is not an epoch-making invention. At least in my opinion, it is just a copy of the Apple 2 computer.

The technological highlights of this new computer that Aikon Company focuses on are not new in the author’s opinion. For example, in the promotion of Aikon Computer, it is believed that the dual-CPU design can greatly improve the computer’s computing performance.

Beautiful country has long been a bad thing. Which Apple does not have a z80 card installed? The z80 processor on the z80 card is actually a second CPU.

Another example is the networking solution designed for school computer teaching that Aikon Computer showed in the on-site teaching class at the exhibition. It is said that this LAN technology was invented by Aikon, a researcher who studied for a PhD at Cambridge University.
