In April 1972, the happiest people in this month were probably the children.

Because at this time, an animation called "Transformers" began to be broadcast on TV, and countless toys related to Transformers also began to be sold on the market.

For Catherine, the hit release of "Transformers" represents another meal ticket.

It's just that the settings of Gundam have been modified a bit by Catherine, so they can't be copied, so they can only be modified slowly. Although the modifications are almost complete, it will probably take until May to apply them.

And this month is also a month worth cheering for players.

Because just this month, the 32-bit Capricorn processor products have begun official production, and the first batch of CPUs are about to be launched.

The reason why players are so happy is because the latest phoenix-windows system is about to be equipped with this system, and with this system, "Red Alert 2" and "Age of Discovery 2" will appear at the same time, and the CPU has taken a step forward.

A step up, this kind of game performance will inevitably be better.

For ordinary families, the gaming performance of a computer is much more important than the office performance. For many game enthusiasts, computers are now synonymous with game consoles.

At this time, Apple also noticed this, and they also wanted to develop computer products that could give users a sufficient experience.

Of course, the "experience" of a computer and the "experience" of a game console are completely different concepts.

The experience of a computer is mainly about tossing, while the experience of a game console is mainly about not tossing.

It's just strange that 32-bit game consoles have no sound at all so far. This puzzles many people.

But this is also caused by a strategy of Apple.

According to Apple's current strategy, they will adopt a pendulum-style product development and sales model.

To be precise, a new product should be launched every 18 months.

After realizing that the image of computers in people's minds had changed, Apple adjusted their strategies in a timely manner.

phoenix-windows will be launched in September, and the new generation of computers will also be launched simultaneously. When the next generation of products comes, it will be March 1973 before the 32-bit game console will be launched on the market.

Moreover, this game console will also become the last device on the market that has the same core as a computer. After that, according to Catherine's idea, the game console will use the RISC instruction set CPU. In electronic products

Today, as things become more and more complex, such changes are necessary.

The differences between electronic products will become larger and larger. At this time, specialized game consoles must be specially optimized.

In the later era, the memory of a PS3 was only 256MB, but when playing games, it was very easy to feel that it was insufficient or something. But for "high-end players" who use computers, there was no 16GB desktop computer.

Those are all substandard. It’s only 16gb, but it’s still scummy.

This is the difference between professional and all-round models.

The fun of computers lies in DIY, which is like a bottomless pit. Today I want to change the CPU, tomorrow I want to change the graphics card, and the day after tomorrow I want to install a large hard drive. Before I know it, my money has been cheated by unscrupulous profiteers like Catherine.

.However, for computer users, new CPUs and better performance really make them happy.

Real-time strategy games like RTS are difficult to play on a console. Only computers can play them. And with different configurations, the computer screen will also undergo a series of changes.

, these are the places where computers can attract today’s people.

The next generation of computer hosts will also use the current graphics card to improve system performance, but directly integrate the graphics card. Originally they planned to completely abandon the cassette mode, but considering that software like Green Dam is now

It uses a cassette mode, so it cannot be used without a cassette, so Apple simply made it compatible with the current generation of Xbox games.

Anyway, for a 32-bit system, simulating an 8-bit system is a piece of cake.

However, on the new generation of game consoles, user operations will be simplified again, and everything will become simpler, more user-friendly, more comfortable and smoother.

Why did Love Crazy become so popular later?

Someone has concluded that the reason is that people love to be crazy and don’t bother.

——Although in the eyes of some people, Ai Crazy seems to be more difficult to toss with, so they don’t bother with it. But in general, people who buy Ai Crazy are not buying Ai Crazy to play the game every day, nor are they buying it for

I use Ai Kuan to run scores, but to use it. The good experience and hassle-free feeling have become one of the reasons why iPhone is popular.

Of course, later this phone also added a new function, which is random gifts.

In Apple's plan, computers and consoles can be said to have gone to two extremes, which are the two ends of the pendulum.

In Catherine's company, Catherine was also playing with her computer at this time.

"Well, it's much better than before."

Catherine felt good operating the 9.7-inch laptop with a 400*300 resolution in front of her.

After many revisions, the computer is now ready for use.

This computer will also be put into the school district, and each of the 300,000 students will have one.

Of course, it will probably take more than ten years to realize all the plans. Just building such a city will probably take a lot of time.

"It's a pity it's only in black and white."

Elsa prefers colorful pictures, but a screen like this that only has black and white pictures makes her lose energy.

"Don't say that, actually this is already very good." Catherine looked indifferent.

The most critical step of starting something from scratch has been taken. The following work will become easier.

The entire machine weighs 7 kilograms. The configuration inside is an integrated motherboard, a downclocked Capricorn CPU, 1MB of memory, pw system optical drive, an external optical drive, two universal slots (cassettes), and two USB

slots, a keyboard and a trackball.

In the wide areas on both sides of the screen, two batteries are placed. These two batteries are optional. They weigh about two kilograms and can keep the machine running for an hour.

"I found that this kind of trackball is easier to use than a mouse..."

Rubbing the tactile trackball on it with her hand, Catherine complained about the mouse underneath her again.

My own mouse is really weak. This makes Catherine very uncomfortable. Even the best mouse on the market today can hardly meet Catherine's needs for mouse feel.

This is indeed too different.

"How often do you have high-tech products? I think the current mouse has reached its limit."

Elsa feels that the current mouse has no room for further improvement.

"Well...that's not necessarily the case."

The development of mechanical mice has reached a peak now. It is impossible to improve the feel. Such a rolling ball structure has already destined this kind of mouse to be like this now.

The mechanical mouse is mainly composed of a rolling ball, a roller and a grating signal sensor. When the mouse is dragged, the rolling ball drives the roller to rotate, and the photoelectric pulse signal generated by the grating signal sensor installed at the end of the roller reflects

The displacement changes of the mouse in the vertical and horizontal directions are detected, and then the movement of the cursor arrow on the screen is controlled through processing and conversion by the computer program.

Wanting to improve such a mouse, Catherine could hardly think of any way to modify it.

Even if there were, it would not be possible with current technology.

Historically, Logitech successfully designed the first optical-mechanical mouse in 1983. It is generally referred to as the "optical-mechanical mouse." The optical-mechanical mouse is an improvement on the purely mechanical mouse and improves the performance by introducing optical technology.

The positioning accuracy of the mouse. Compared with the purely mechanical mouse

The same. The optical mouse also has a small rubber rolling ball, which is connected to the x and y axes. The difference is that the optical mouse no longer has a round decoding wheel, but instead has two grid slits.

grating code disc, and added light-emitting diodes and photosensitive chips. When the mouse moves on the desktop

, the rolling ball will drive the two grating code disks on the x and y rotating axes to rotate, and the light emitted by the x and y LEDs will illuminate the grating code disks. Because there are grating gaps in the grating code disks, the diodes emit light at the right time.

Light can pass through the grid slit and directly illuminate the detector composed of two photosensitive chips.

On the probe. If a light signal is received, the photosensitive chip will generate a "1" signal. If no light signal is received, it will be set as a signal "0". Next, these signals are sent to a specialized control chip

The operation generates the corresponding coordinate offset to determine the position of the cursor on the screen.

With the help of this principle, the optical mechanical mouse greatly surpassed the original purely mechanical mouse in terms of accuracy, reliability, and response sensitivity, and maintained the advantage of low cost. After its launch, it quickly became popular in the market, and the purely mechanical mouse was quickly replaced.

But it is a pity that even such a mouse cannot be produced by Catherine.

As for the more advanced optical mouse, the Blue Shadow Mouse is so amazing, it is even more futile...

But at this time, it was the trackball on Catherine's laptop that was more favored by Catherine.

This kind of trackball is designed with a reverse buckle, and the trackball is pressed tightly underneath, so when it is moved, the feel is more outstanding than that of a mouse, so Catherine prefers this kind of mouse.

In terms of feel, Catherine thinks this seems to be better than an optical mouse.

"Hey... we might as well just dig this thing out and use it on my computer."

Catherine touched her chin.

Speaking of which, you are also the boss of the company, so thanking you for using power for personal gain should be nothing, right?

"Well, why not just customize your own things..."

Catherine thought for a while, she seemed to have customized all of them, so it doesn't matter...
