Return To 1998

Time passes like water, day by day.

Xu Tongdao's Internet cafe is still being renovated, but in order to attract attention early and promote the Internet cafe, Xu Tongdao first completed the signboard of the Internet cafe.

There are two pieces in total, one large, hanging on the balcony on the second floor.

The other small piece was placed by him next to the wall at the entrance of the alley. In order to prevent it from being stolen by tattered ones, he made some cement mortar and fixed the feet of this signboard there. If so, it could still be stolen. Let's go, he will admit it.

By the way, he named his Internet cafe with five characters - Ximendao Internet Cafe.

He thought about naming it Xiaoxu Internet Cafe or Xiaodao Internet Cafe, but in the end, he chose such a strange name.

Because he felt that Ximendao Internet Cafe should be more impressive.

For example: Will the name remind people of Ximen Qing Internet Cafe?

As for the meaning of the three words Simon Road?

In fact, it means literally, Ximen is because this Internet cafe is located on the street of Ximen of Naval University, and Dao is the last word in his three characters Xu Tongdao.

The name must have the meaning of touching porcelain Ximen Qing.

But Tongdao Xu definitely didn't think that he and Ximen Qing were the same kind of people. He just suddenly thought of such a name, and then felt that the name was only one word different from Ximen Qing, and it might be easier for people to remember, so it was like that. used.

For him, the name of this Internet cafe is easy to read and remember, and it is easy to leave a deeper impression on people, which is the most important.

As for whether it will be thought that the owner's name is Ximendao? He is indifferent.

More than a week has passed.

The water and electricity in the Internet cafe have already been done, the walls are scratched white, and the tables and chairs have been bought and installed.

This morning, Dai Yang came over to assemble and install the computer.

In the afternoon, the telecommunications side will come to the network line.

Everything is proceeding in an orderly manner.

Today, Dai Yang didn't come alone. He also brought five male students to help him.

Euphemistically called: give them five opportunities, teach them how to assemble a computer, and improve their practical ability.

In fact, it is to catch free strong men.

Moreover, the five students brought by him are still very excited and highly motivated.

Tongdao Xu wanted to laugh as he watched the five students cheering on Dai Yang with great interest, as if he had seen his student days.

I still remember that when he was in elementary and middle school, every time a teacher came to the class and asked someone to help him do something, everyone's enthusiasm was similar to the five boys in front of him.

In the morning, Dai Yang and the others only successfully assembled 12 computers. Xu Tongdao could see that Dai Yang was not very skilled in assembling computers, but it was normal. There are not many opportunities for Dai Yang to assemble computers these days.

So it is not surprising that the method is not skilled.

Assembling a computer is actually quite tedious.

Not only should various spare parts be installed into the mainframe case, after the mainframe is assembled, it must be connected to the display screen, and after that, the system software must be installed in the computer, and so on.

Seeing that they had assembled 12 units in one morning, Tongdao Xu and Zheng Qing thought that they would not be able to assemble them all this afternoon.

result……

It was probably because they had practiced their skills in the morning. After Tongdao Xu invited them to lunch, Dai Yang and the others assembled much more efficiently in the afternoon.

Dai Yang's techniques are more proficient, and the students who start with him also cooperate more tacitly with Dai Yang. After the host is assembled, it is no longer necessary for Dai Yang to do it himself. Those five students have already learned it and can do it. work for you.

That's it, I was busy until 9 o'clock in the evening, and all 32 computers were assembled.

During the afternoon, the telecommunications company sent someone to connect the network cable.

Therefore, at 9 o'clock that night, when all 32 computers were installed, all of these 32 computers were able to access the Internet normally.

At the end of work, Dai Yang clapped the dust on his hands, a satisfied smile appeared on his face, and gestured, Xiao Xu! Give it a try! Let's see the effect of the Internet!

In fact, it is not necessary for him to say, Xu Tongdao will also test it himself.

Can he play on the computer?

One of Dai Yang's students whispered to the classmates beside him.

He had already spoken very quietly, but Xu Tongdao and the others could still hear him.

Dai Yang's face sank, and he gave the child a warning look.

Zheng Qing also glanced at the boy.

Tongdao Xu smiled and didn't mind.

Who made him feel good now! Moreover, his age is obviously younger than Dai Yang's five students. Even if he is about the same age as them, in the eyes of ordinary people, he is not a computer major, and he should not be able to play with computers.

Under everyone's attention, Tongdao Xu pulled out a chair at random and sat down, and turned on the computer in front of him. Before his rebirth, the laptop he bought for more than 4,000 yuan only started up in a few seconds.

Therefore, at this time, the computer he was operating took more than a minute to turn on, which made him very uncomfortable.

Tongdao Xu patiently waited.

Because of the original time and space, in the past few years, he also played in Internet cafes, and experienced that it took fifty or sixty seconds to turn on the computer.

Finally, the computer booted successfully.

Looking at the system interface that appeared on the Big Head display, Xu Tongdao was very emotional. He hadn't seen this Windows98 system for many years.

In his memory, after this system, he also used windowsXP system and win7. Before his rebirth, the operating system of his laptop was already win10.

So at this time, when he saw the boot interface of the Windows 98 system that appeared after the computer was successfully started, he felt a lot of emotion.

He remembered that the first QQ account he applied for was on the computer of this system.

He still remembers that at that time, many people came into contact with the computer for the first time and could not play other things, but using QQ to chat with strangers was relatively easy to learn, and it was just the time to practice typing.

Therefore, online dating was especially popular in those years.

He also chatted with a few girls on the Internet back then.

So, if someone wants to ask him whether he will use a computer with windows98 system?

He couldn't help but want to laugh.

If it is an earlier Windows95 system, he may not really use it.

But the system in front of him is familiar to him!

Seeing him skillfully manipulate the mouse, click on the IE browser, and look at the quickly opened web page, Xu Tongdao was a little surprised.

99's internet speed is so fast?

Immediately, he came to his senses—it wasn't that the internet speed in 1999 was so fast, but that the internet speed here was used by the entire internet cafe, but at this time, only the computer in front of him was in use, so the speed was naturally not slower. where to go.

After reacting, Xu Tongdao skillfully used the keyboard to enter the three words Naval University in the browser search box, and then hit the Enter key.

There was a soft sound of Cha, and as the Enter key was pressed, the screen on the browser changed, and the search results were quickly displayed.

However, he was so proficient at using the computer and typing so proficiently that Dai Yang, Zheng Qing and the others were stunned.

Why are you so skilled at typing?

The boy who just wondered if Xu Tongdao would play on the computer couldn't help but ask.
