This computer store has two floors and the overall area is not small.
Being able to open such a large store in the heart of New York City, the strength of this owner cannot be underestimated!
Xu Nanxing then thought that people who could afford computers in that era must be either rich or noble, and the popularity of computers in later generations could not be compared.
After a careful look, there were quite a lot of computer brands on sale in the computer store. Some of them looked familiar, as they must have been developed in later generations. Xu Nanxing had never seen most of the brand logos, and it seemed that they had disappeared in the long river of history.
However, this is also normal.
Electronic products!
Isn’t it normal to upgrade?
Every year new brands emerge and old brands fall!
Although computers of this era are very small in size, the entire frame of most computers is very "thick". For example, the display screen is a square "big head", and there is also a very thick wooden antique keyboard and a very large host, which makes people feel very heavy at first glance.
Of course, computers at this time could not be made in "thin and light" styles.
Xu Nanxing looked at it for a while and found it difficult to find the Apple-1 among so many "antique" computers that looked similar.
Forget it, Xu Nanxing went straight to the boss and asked: "Boss, I want to buy a computer as a gift for a friend. Can you tell me about the different computers?"
The boss was a middle-aged white man. There were very few people buying computers at this time of year, so when he saw that there were a few Asian girls coming in, he didn't take it seriously.
After all, most computer users nowadays are men, and computers are mostly used for work, so there are very few girls who come to buy computers.
So the boss thought that these girls just came in out of curiosity to take a look.
I didn’t expect that there really is a girl who wants to buy a computer!
However, when I heard that the other party wanted to give it as a gift, I didn't think much about it.
Anyway, there are not many people here now, and the boss is happy to introduce some computers to these girls.
"This one is the flagship product in the current computer market, the Alto computer produced by Xerox. This computer has the best performance and the most complete functions. Many large enterprises, universities and the White House have purchased computers from this company, which shows how excellent this computer is! You can't go wrong by buying this computer!" The boss pointed to the computer in the middle of the display stand and introduced it to them.
Xerox Alto computer released in 1973
Looking at the boss’s proud expression, it seems that this computer has brought him a lot of profits!
It was a computer very similar to a modern desktop computer, with a disk pack and an Alto vertical monitor, a small mouse and a white keyboard.
Even Li Shiqi and the others, who were not very interested in computers, came forward to watch.
After all, this computer is all white, and it looks quite attractive!
Xu Nanxing had also checked some information before coming here. It was true that the Alto computer had the best performance in that era, far surpassing Apple's Apple-1 computer.
However, as one of the most famous companies in the future of the United States, the first generation of computers produced by Apple is more valuable!
And since she was already here, Xu Nanxing still expressed her intention to buy a few of these Alto computers to take back. She has so many companies, so she should have one for each of them, right?
However, Xu Nanxing still asked, "Boss, do you have any new computers released this year? I'd like to take a look at other models."
The boss was very surprised. He didn't expect that someone would want to buy a new computer, thinking that the new computer would be better than the previous one.
The boss didn't say much, though. After a moment's thought, he pointed to a computer in the corner and said, "That's the one two guys put on consignment with me not long ago! It's decent, but it's definitely not as good as this Alto. They were quite young, so I thought I'd give them a chance. So I let them put their computer on consignment."
It must be Steve Jobs!
Xu Nanxing quickly said, "Is that so? If I buy this computer, can I get those two guys to sign it?"
