Coquettish Rebirth

That's right!Although the old man Olson is a technical fanatic, it doesn't prove that he doesn't understand the market at all!What does the old man say, those are the ancestors of minicomputers decades ago and later PCs!It was him who was the first to connect the monitor to the machine, so that he didn't have to rely on an automatic dot machine to make holes in the paper tape every time to see the machine code!He was the first to introduce the function of interconnection and collaboration in a civilian computer for the first time!Although all his ideas are commercial first, it does not mean that this old man has no inspiration for the combination of new technology and old technology!

If he's just a technical madman without inspiration, then he can't be the boss of dec, and he can't be an existence that almost beat the blue giant IBM, then he can only be an engineer of some other computer company!

So at this time, Olsen is very awkward and stubborn holding his book-sized diskless work computer and won't let it go. He has to find a way to do this!Although Jia Hongjian Anderson and even his wife persuaded him to let go, he won't let go!No one to help him, he will come by himself!Anyway, when they were only the size of a hair in front of IBM decades ago, he persisted like this!

At this time, the old man looked at his host computer, thinking about what Bill Gates and Jia Hongjian said.They all said to the old man, this machine is very good, but it is too small, too small to be safe-the current monitor is still a crt, which is much larger than the case, compared with ordinary people, it looks so small small chassis.Definitely feel easy to lose the first time.Although the old man is stubborn, he can still recognize the feeling of ordinary people.

However, Jia Hongjian, Anderson and others all suggested that when encountering this kind of problem, then everyone should settle for the next best thing, simply make the machine bigger, and then use the metal wire drawing process without painting it, so that It can make the machine perform more "weight", and also greatly reduce the cost.

But Olson thinks.There should be another way—one from the tiny host itself.Without changing the core idea of ​​this small motherboard and small design, just modifying the unimportant corners and corners can make consumers feel that this thing is acceptable!But how can this thing be improved?If.Customers felt that the box was too small.Words that are easy to steal.So is it possible to make this thing impossible to be stolen, but not shrink in size?For example, fasten an iron chain on the shell?Of course, you can also get some password magnetic control lock or other technology.But it is obviously not as simple and easy as the iron chain...

But this shape looks weak. Where is the company that locks the chassis used by its employees on the desk?If the desk cannot be locked, then design the desk together?Design a new desk, open a hole in a certain drawer, so that employees can reach in and press the power switch, and then put the chassis in the drawer?No, this case is easy to slide. After all, this thing is too small and light, and why do other companies have to change a whole set of desks, chairs and benches for this set of computers?

Then is there any other way to fix the chassis, and the result is that it is not easy for people to move it away?In other words, is there anything that is beautiful and can bind this chassis?The heavier one, the bigger one, it’s better to match the product... Wait!Monitor!The monitors these days are still crt monitors, just like TVs, they use old-fashioned monitors with picture tubes.Because the picture tube has a depth dimension, no matter how small the display is, its thickness must not be small!But in fact, most of the space in this display is empty!

To put it simply, the inside of this TV or monitor is actually not a small circuit board, plus a picture tube and a transformer!Needless to say, the transformer is used to convert the voltage. Needless to say, the picture tube is used to convert the video electrical signal into an image that can be seen by the human eye, but what about the circuit board?That is to interpret the analog signal transmitted by the TV station or the digital signal transmitted by the computer's internal graphics card into a "transmission scheme" that can be used by the picture tube!

Therefore, when the display is actually manufactured, there is a picture tube like a funnel behind the screen, and then different manufacturers will arrange the circuit boards in different positions, but many manufacturers will arrange them above the picture tube, that is, near the top shell of the display. The place.Here, the display shell just opened the heat dissipation holes, which can dissipate heat for the circuit board!

From this point of view, the whole display actually has quite a lot of space inside!As long as he fixes it a little bit, Olson doesn't believe that his book-sized system can't fit into the monitor!

At that time, as long as the casing of the monitor is a little bigger, plus the entrance of the optical drive and floppy drive, won't this make it difficult for the host to be removed?And how simple it is, even the whole machine only needs one power cord!Even the mouse and keyboard can be directly connected to the monitor!In this way, the desktop space is greatly reduced, and at the same time, the company bosses feel that it is obviously beautiful to buy such a "host" with only a monitor at a price similar to that of a computer on the market, and it can reduce the possibility of employees using the computer for things other than work!

At this moment, Olsen almost wanted to kiss himself!He suddenly picked up the phone on his desk, called his wife, and kissed the inexplicable wife on the phone, and then, this crazy scientist directly disconnected the power cord of the computer on his desk , ran to the workshop to get a few screwdrivers and electric drills, then trotted all the way back to his office - he obviously wanted to modify his monitor first!

After he disassembled the monitor, he first turned his book-sized diskless host over and dropped it to compare the positions. After finding that the reserved space in the monitor was not enough, the old man was not vague at all, and directly Grab the little chainsaw and start operating on the display case! After 1 minute of work, the old man removed the top case of the monitor!Then he put his book host on the top case of the monitor and compared it.Take another look at the circuit board below.In the end, the old man went to the workshop to find a few aluminum plates, took them back to the office and compared the positions, then used an electric drill to drill holes, then fitted screws and nuts, and finally added a comparison with the monitor. It turned out to be a top shell five or six centimeters taller!

With this top case, the old man decided to put the machine into the display, and at the same time added a support layer under the main chassis to hold the circuit board of the display!Even the old man made two slots on the panel at the top of the front of the monitor, one of which fits the optical drive.The other looks like it's meant to match the floppy drive that doesn't exist on this book host!

"Hahahaha! I'm such a genius!" After the old man saw the result of his own work.I laughed out loud when I was so excited!He didn't believe that his small host had no way out!He didn't believe that the cutting-edge technology he designed would be eliminated by the market!Now put the console and monitor together, you bloody consumers won't think my console is too small!Want to steal something?Try it secretly!If you have the ability to disassemble the entire display and steal the CPU!Disassembly is void of warranty!

The excited old man then turned around and ran back to the workshop and laboratory.They dragged Anderson and several other deputy to his office.Then there's Olsen.Excitedly, like a child, he pointed to the monitor that had been modified to look like Frankenstein and said. "Look! Look! This is my newly developed host. I'm going to call this host all-in-one. All the things that should be in a computer are all in this one monitor! Awesome? So handsome? Do you dare to say that the small host I designed before has no future? Huh?"

Anderson and the others were stunned when they saw the strange-looking monitor spliced ​​together with plastic and aluminum plates!They never thought that the mainframe can be put in the monitor!So they all looked around the machine one by one, and even touched it!Seeing the curious faces of these old men, Olsen was so excited that he even suddenly remembered that kid Jia Hongjian, so he didn't care about the 21 [-] and directly called Jia Hongjian, " Hey, Chinese boy, come here quickly! I have researched something amazing! Hahahahaha, hurry up... What? Negotiation? What is the importance of negotiation? What is more important than what I have researched? Important? I don't care, come here quickly, hahahaha..."

Five or six hours later, Jia Hongjian and Ye Jing finally arrived in a hurry.When the two of them saw the thing that Olsen transformed for the first time, Ye Jing, a juicy little girl, was stunned!She has grown so big, she has never seen such an ugly monitor!My God, there is actually a set-top box-like thing on the plastic casing of the display, whether it is a steel plate or an aluminum plate!Who made this display?Why is it so ugly?

Well, girls are always computer ignorant, forgive their brain circuits are different from men's.At least Jia Hongjian felt that he had seen something extraordinary at first sight!So when Olsen walked up to Jia Hongjian with a showy face, he said to him, "Hey, young man, guess what your idol made?"

"Shengxiang... Did you put the mainframe in the monitor?" Jia Hongjian asked in shock. "..." Old man Olsen suddenly became bored. He thought Jia Hongjian wouldn't be able to recognize him, but then he laughed at Jia Hongjian, but who knew that this kid would recognize him right away! "Yes..." the old man said a little disappointed.But what he didn't realize was that the way Jia Hongjian was looking at this machine now, he wanted to see a dinosaur that could breastfeed!

You must know that Jia Hongjian is familiar with the so-called all-in-one computer, that is, the monitor and the host are plugged together. It is the LCD monitor and the host of later generations that are stuffed together. He has never seen a crt monitor and the host plugged together. of!This is stuffed to the end, it doesn't have the slim feet of the LCD all-in-one machine, it's still a big fat monitor, and it doesn't matter if there is any space at all!This wonderful product really gave Jia Hongjian a sense of space-time disorder! (To be continued..)
