I told my parents that I signed up for a computer class when I got back, my father didn't object this time, instead he encouraged me to study hard and not give up halfway.
As a technical engineer in the factory, my father knew the importance of learning computers well for future work. Without saying anything else, he gave me the tuition fee, and praised me for being sensible and knowing how to study.
In 1994, computers hadn't become the game machines and electronic drugs that some parents talked about yet. At this time, computers were still very mysterious in the eyes of most people, it was a sign of high tech office automation.
Shao Nian Gong's computer room was very small, there were only twenty or so computers, all of them were Lenovo 386 models.
When I entered, there were only four or five people sitting in the room, completely different from the dozens of people in yesterday's sanda class.
No wonder the trial fee was so expensive, if it was less then I wouldn't even be able to pay the teacher's lecture fee.
Computers in this era were very boring for my generation, far less exciting than game machines.
It was because computers were too mysterious that a lot of children and even parents thought that it was a scientific instrument that was very far away from life, only a few parents with foresight would send their children here to study.
I found a seat near the back, and turned on the power of the computer.
The familiar self-check sound rang, all of a sudden my mood surged, I stared at the screen and waited for that familiar window.
En? Why is the screen black? I looked at the prompt in front of me, and suddenly remembered, the domestic computer system was still in the era of DOS.
Isn't this a case of a clever housewife without rice? I, who was used to using graphical interfaces in my previous life, actually had to face a prompt one day, it was good that I learned DOS 6.22 and TC2.0 in university, or else I really wouldn't know where to start.
I skillfully opened the file directory on the hard drive, the only languages that could be used were BASIC and LOGO, even TC (C Language Compiler) wasn't installed. There were also a few small programs for practicing finger techniques.
BASIC was the worst language that I learned in my previous life, and also the one that I used the least, even if I used it, it was in VB, there was no need to memorize some sentences and functions.
I didn't even use LOGO, I didn't even see any of my colleagues use it.
"Liu Lei?" Suddenly, I heard an extremely moving voice calling my name. I could recognize this voice even in my sleep, it came from our cute classmate Zhao Yanyan.
"Liu Lei, it really is you, why are you here?" Zhao Yanyan sat on a seat beside me without any hesitation.
"Shouldn't I be the one asking you that? Aren't you learning dance? "I stopped what I was doing and said to Zhao Yanyan.
"How did you know I was learning dance here?" Zhao Yanyan looked at me suspiciously.
Sweat immediately appeared on my forehead, I almost exposed myself accidentally, it was indeed impossible for me to know that Zhao Yanyan was learning dance here.
School just started a week ago, Zhao Yanyan never mentioned it to me, but in my previous life, I knew that Zhao Yanyan would come to Shao Nian Gong to learn dancing every Saturday.
I took a deep breath and pretended to be nonchalant as I said, "I saw you yesterday when I came to learn Sanda."
"Oh, so you're learning Sanda, I really couldn't tell. But that's not right, Liu Lei, "Zhao Yanyan changed the topic and looked at me with a smile that wasn't a smile." I had something to do yesterday, so I didn't come to dance class, so Liu Lei, hurry up and tell me the truth, how did you know about this? "
It can't be, my god! The more I explain, the worse it gets, it really is being ruined by one's own cleverness. However, at this moment, my savior appeared, an old man walked up to the podium and said to us, "Okay, everyone calm down, I'm going to start teaching."
As expected, Zhao Yanyan didn't ask me anymore after he interrupted, and took out a small notebook from her backpack, and prepared to take notes.
I was confused, Zhao Yanyan also came to the computer class? I never heard of it in my previous life?
What's more, girls were basically not interested in these things, this could be seen from the fact that Zhao Yanyan was the only girl in the entire classroom.
"Why did you come to learn this as well?" I asked.
"Who made the rule that only you can come, and not me?" Zhao Yanyan stared straight at the podium and said quietly.
"It's just that I can't focus on studying once you come," I said while lowering my voice.
"Why can't you focus on studying, isn't it good to have a beauty like me by your side?" Zhao Yanyan whispered to me as she listened to the old man on the podium speak, and was a bit absent-minded, so she subconsciously teased me.
However, right after she said it, she noticed that it wasn't right, and blushed in embarrassment.
I pretended like I didn't notice, and continued, "It's because I only look at you in class, that's why I can't focus in class."
"Who are you lying to?" Zhao Yanyan snorted. "I wonder who's the one that sleeps the moment class starts."
"Then I can't always look at you in class, you would be embarrassed," I said shamelessly.
My words immediately caused Zhao Yanyan's cheeks to flush, she didn't make a sound for a while, then finally said softly, "Hurry up and listen to class."
"Computing is a mysterious course, we can use it to draw pictures, edit words, process data, and can even write our favorite programs, such as games …" The old man lecturing in front of me rambled on and on about what I thought was nonsense.
Yet, Zhao Yanyan listened with great interest, and occasionally jotted down something in her notebook.
I looked at the other people who were also very interested. I laughed coldly in my heart, you'll know what is boring and boring when you learn to program.
In the DOS era, what kind of programs can make money? In an era where copyright wasn't perfect, there weren't many computers in Huaxia, and there were also large amounts of pirated software, it seemed impossible to get people to fork out money to buy the original, all of a sudden, I fell into deep thought.
My hands quickly typed on the keyboard, this was an unconscious action that I did every time I was thinking about a problem in my previous life, the screen was filled with fhqutemvga, this was the order of Zhao Yanyan's name in the Chinese characters of Wubi.
I smiled wryly as I came back to my senses, and used the corner of my eyes to glance at Zhao Yanyan on the side, this chick was still listening to the old man's bullshit with great interest, as if she didn't notice what I was doing at all.
It's a good thing that I subconsciously typed out Wubi, if it was Hanyu Pinyin, this chick would think that I was a pervert, but she might also be moved to the point that she would give herself to me, even though the possibility of that happening was close to zero.
I cleared the screen, it seems like this habit of mine wasn't very good, if everyone around me learned Wubi, then it would be exposed.
Wubi! Oh yeah, I slapped my thigh.
According to my understanding, there wasn't a particularly perfect Pinyin input method in this era, a lot of people desperately memorized the root of Wubi in order to pursue typing speed.
Yet, there were very few people who actually used Wubi input method in the future, they were all replaced by Pinyin. What's more, it was simply impossible for people who didn't type often and worked in government institutions to learn Wubi.
If I could take the Pinyin input method under Windows like Smart ABC, Sogou Pinyin, and so on that I saw in the future and port it to DOS, then it would definitely cause a frenzy of input methods.
