After I went back, I told my parents about my enrollment in the computer class. This time, my father did not object, but encouraged me to study hard and not give up halfway.
As the father of a technical engineer in the factory, he knows the importance of learning computers well for future work. Without saying a word, he gave me the tuition fee, and praised me for being sensible and knowing how to study. In 1994, the computer had not yet become the game console or electronic drug that some parents later called. At this time, computers are still very mysterious in the eyes of most people, and they are a symbol of high-tech office automation.
The computer room in the Children's Palace is very small, with only about 20 computers, all of which are Lenovo 386 brand machines. When I went in, there were only four or five people sitting in the room, which was completely lacking in the momentum of the dozens of people in yesterday's Sanda class. No wonder the trial listening fee is so expensive. If it is less, you may not even be able to pay the teacher's lecture fee.
Computers in this era are boring to our generation, far less exciting than game consoles. It is precisely because the computer is too mysterious that many children and even parents think that it is a scientific instrument that is far away from life. Only a few parents with advanced consciousness will send their children to study here.
I found a seat near the back and sat down and turned on the computer. The familiar self-test sound sounded, and I was in a rush of mood for a while, staring at the screen and waiting for the familiar small window picture.
Um? Why is the screen black? Looking at the prompt in front of me, I suddenly remembered that the domestic computer system was still in the era of DOS at this time.
Isn't it hard for a clever woman to be reminded of nothing? I was used to the graphical interface in my previous life, but one day I had to face the prompt. Fortunately, I also learned DOS6.22 and TC2.0 in college, otherwise I really don’t know where to start.
I skillfully called up the file directory in the hard disk, and the languages that can be used are only BASIC and LOGO, and even TC (C language program compiler) is not installed. There are also several small programs for practicing fingering. BASIC is the worst language I learned in my previous life and the least frequently used language. Even if I use it, I use VB, and there is no need to memorize some sentences and functions. I have never used the LOGO language at all, and I have not even seen any of my colleagues use it.
"Liu Lei?" Suddenly I heard an extremely moving voice calling my name, and I could hear this voice even when I was sleeping, it came from our lovely classmate Zhao Yanyan.
"Liu Lei, it really is you, why are you here?" Zhao Yanyan unceremoniously sat on a seat next to me.
"I should ask you this question, right? Aren't you learning to dance?" I stopped what I was doing and said to Zhao Yanyan.
"How do you know that I'm learning dance here?" Zhao Yanyan looked at me suspiciously.
The sweat on my head immediately broke out, and I almost exposed my secrets by accident. It is true that I would never know that Zhao Yanyan is learning dance here. The school has just started for a week, and Zhao Yanyan herself has never mentioned it to me, but in my previous life, I knew that Zhao Yanyan would come to the Children's Palace every Saturday to learn dance.
I took a deep breath, and I pretended to be nonchalant and said, "I saw you when I came to learn Sanda yesterday."
"Oh, so you still practice Sanda, I really didn't see it. But it's not right, Liu Lei," Zhao Yanyan looked at me with a half-smile and said, "I didn't come to the dance class yesterday because I had something to do, so Liu Lei, you Hurry up and tell the truth, how did you know this news?"
No way, my God! I simply became darker and darker, I was really clever but was mistaken by cleverness. But at this time my savior appeared, an old man stepped onto the podium and said to us: "Okay, everyone, be quiet, I'm going to start the lecture."
Sure enough, Zhao Yanyan stopped asking me when he interrupted her, and took out a small notebook from her backpack to take notes.
I wondered in my heart, Zhao Yanyan also came to attend the computer class? I never heard of it in my previous life, did I? Besides, girls are basically not interested in these things, this can be seen from the fact that there is only one girl in the classroom, Zhao Yanyan.
"Why are you here to learn this?" I asked.
"Whoever stipulates that you are allowed to come or not?" Zhao Yanyan stared at the podium without squinting, and whispered.
"It's just that I can't concentrate on my studies when you come here." I said with a low moan.
"Why can't you study hard? Isn't it good to have a beautiful woman like me by your side?" Zhao Yanyan whispered to me while listening to the old man on the stage, a little absent-minded, and subconsciously teased me One sentence. But as soon as he finished speaking, he realized that something was wrong, and his little face blushed, feeling ashamed.
I pretended not to notice, and continued: "It's because I only watch you in class, so I can't concentrate on listening to the class."
"Who are you lying to?" Zhao Yanyan snorted, "I don't know who fell asleep right after class."
"Then I can't just look at you all the time in class, then you should be embarrassed." I said boldly.
What I said made Zhao Yanyan's cheeks plump immediately, she didn't say anything for a long time, and finally said softly: "Hurry up and listen to the class."
"Computer is a mysterious course. We can use it to draw pictures, edit text, process data, and even write our own favorite small programs, such as games..." The old man who gave the lecture talked endlessly in front of me. It is bound to be nonsense and nonsense nonsense. Zhao Yanyan listened to it with great interest, and wrote down something in the notebook from time to time. Look at other people are also interested in listening. I sneered in my heart, when you learn programming, you will know what is boring.
In the DOS era, what kind of programs can make money? In an era when copyrights were not perfect, the number of computers in Huaxia was not large, and there were also a lot of pirated software. At this time, it seemed impossible to get people to pay for genuine copies. I fell into deep thought for a while.
I tapped the keyboard with both hands quickly, this is an unconscious action I made every time I thought about a problem in my previous life, all the words I typed on the screen were fhqutemvga, this is the sequence of the five strokes of the three characters Zhao Yanyan. I came back to my senses with a wry smile, and glanced at Zhao Yanyan next to me from the corner of my eye. This little girl was still listening to the old man's nonsense with great interest, as if she didn't pay any attention to what I was doing. Thanks to my unconscious movements, I typed out Wubi characters. If the Chinese pinyin, this little girl would not think that I am a psychopath, but she might be so moved that she would finally agree with her body. Although this possibility almost zero.
I cleared the screen. It seems that my habit is not very good. If everyone around me learns Wubi in the future, it will be exposed. Wubi! By the way, I slapped my thigh. As far as I know, there is no particularly perfect pinyin input method in this era, and many people are desperately memorizing the roots of Wubi in order to pursue typing speed. In later generations, there are very few people who really use the Wubi input method, and they are all replaced by Pinyin. And some people who don't type often and work in government enterprises and institutions ask them to learn Wubi, which is simply a fantasy.
If I can comprehensively improve the smart ABC, Sogou Pinyin and other Pinyin input methods under the WINDOWS platform that I have seen in later generations and transplant them to the DOS platform, it will definitely set off a frenzy of input methods.
