This is the story of how a handful of guys launched an industry revolution.How they changed the culture of business,how they made history. I feel incredibly lucky to be at exactly the right place in silicon valley,at exactly the right time historically, where this invention has taken form.It wasn't like we both thought it was going to go a long ways,it was like,we both do it for fun,and even though we're going to loose some money probably,we'll have been able to say we had a company.All of us would get together and just that we were right, that the PC would become a big thing,You know,I stop and said Wow! The PC has really become part of the very fabric of the way people live.And we certainly surged with it and I just had stop to say humph,,pretty incredible ride Most of these people come from a place I call home, the silicon valley south of San Francisco, California.Growing up here near the electronic companies that give the place its name.These founders of the PC revolution were,for the most part, middle class white kids from good suburban homes.But it's not their homes we're interested in,it;s there garages.Gram Spencer is chief programmer for Archetix software.Six guys who graduated from Stanford university and started a company,just because they liked each other.This is a modern day start-up,but at heart,its no different from PC pioneers like Apple or Microsoft.Nerds who share a dream.Their hobby is their business,and the culture they've created is identical to that of a thousand other technology companies.First,they dump the idea of nine to five.In this industry,you can work any eighty hours per week you like.Then I got my cap,which I use to cover my eyes and sleep in the early mornings while everyone's coming in.We didn't even obey a twenty-four hour clock.four,five of us when it's time to eat,we would all get into our cars,kinda race towards the restaurant,sit and talk about what we're doing, sometimes I get exited talking about things that I forget to eat,but then you just go back program some more.It was also our friends,those were fun days.Let's look in the refrigerator. We have coke and cold pizza.I drink about two liters of coke a day -- two liters of coke a day!And do you think of it like brain food--It keeps me going, that and listening to heavy metal and get caffeinated and hack I'd sit down in my room on the floor with pieces of paper spread all round with my computer design I was working on and always I noticed, I was up pretty late at night,and I had lots of coke,just part of that life.Combination of steel pizza and body odor and spelt cola kinda ground into the rug.I brought some spaghetti to work and then forgot to wash out the container for it the last couple of days,maybe six or seven,I had to be honest....that smells bad.Eating,bathing,having a girlfriend, and having an active social life,its incidental,it gets in the way of code time.Writing code is the primary force that drives their lives.Anything that interrupts that is wasteful.What is it about the internal logic of a computer that's so enticing?For one thing,such logic can be understood,as oppose to things that can't be understood at all,like the motivations of young women,let's say,or of the French.Let me explain. Time for the cringly crash course in basic basic computers,part 1.This is a mainframe computer,all these cabinets are one machine.In the old days,all computers were this size.They were attended by engineers in white in white coats,the kind of priesthood who took their jobs very seriously.All computers were pretty much the same,whether its a giant that serves two thousand users like this one,or a little notebook that serves only me.They process numerical data,a dding, multiplying, comparing, fact is,if you can quantify it,a computer can handle it.Its the emotional stuff they don't know what to do with.The data must be put into a special binary code consisting only of ones and zeros.Ane you have to give the computer instructions,also in code,to tell it exactly what to do with the data and in what order.These instructions are called a program.In the early days,you put in the instructions by flipping switches or loaded them by paper tape.This was called,machine language.It made computers a pain to use,even worse,every type of computer spoke a different machine language.The ENIAC can compute the 30-second trajectory of a shell in 20-seconds.Operators required spend 2 days to program it to do so.Then, a US navy captain name Grace Hopper solve the problem.She invented a computer language,English words that the computer itself could translate into binary code.Now users could type a whole list of instructions into a computer rather than flipping those damn switches.Like most things having to do with computers, that first language had a silly name,CIBOL.It was followed by other languages like FORTRAN and BASIC and they all made computing just a bit more user friendly.So when some nerds tells you he's been up all night programming or writing software or hacking code,what he really means is,he's been typing long list of instructions into his computer.Mainframe computers were far from personal,they sat in big air-conditioned rooms at insurance companies,phone companies,and the bank.And their main function was get us confused with some other guy named Cringly who's a deadbeat and had a criminal record. Eventually, computer terminals did begin to appear in some schools,but most of us paid no attention,But there's usually one kid who did pay attention,falling in love with the digital purity of those ones and zeros,he was the nerd.And I took this book home that described the PDPA computer and it just like a bible to me.I mean,all these things for some reason I fell a card game called Magic or fall in love with doing crossword puzzles,or something else,playing a musical instrument.I fell in love with little descriptions of computers on their inside and it was little mathematics,I could work out some problems on paper and solve it and see how it's done and I can came up with my own solutions and feel good inside.So you would keyboard these commands in and then you would wait foe a while and then the thing would go ...ta ta ta ta ta...and then it would tell you something out.But even with that,it's still remarkable,especially for a ten year old.That you could wait a program in BASIC,let's say,or FORTRAN and actually,this machine would,sort of take your idea and it would execute your idea and give you back some results and if they were the results you predicted,the program really worked,it was an incredibly thrilling experience.Nerds wanted their own computers right from the beginning,but it took a technological breakthrough to make that possible.This is it,the chip,the microprocessor.This is it,the chip,the microprocessor.This is what allows you to have a mainframe computer on your desk.In 1950's,mainframes were as big as this garage,that's because they were filled with thousands of these,vacuum tubes,or valves.Eventually the valves were made much smaller and replaced with transistors,still too big however, to make a computer that could fit on your desk.What that took was further miniaturization.Here we have a single piece of silicon etched with thousands of transistors.This microprocessor holds more than a million transistors,and that's the secret of the personalcomputer.And that's why they call it Silicon Valley,not computer valley.These are the people who invented the microprocessor,Intel.Intel was started 28 years ago by a handful of guys after a row with their old boss.Their microprocessor today powers 85 percent of the world's computers.Intel not only invented the chip,they're responsible for the laid back Silicon Valley working style.Everyone was on a first name basis,these were no reserved parking places,no offices,only cubicles.It's still ture today.Here's the chairman's cubicle.Gordon Moore is one of Intel founders,worth three billion dollars,with money like that,I'd have a door.In a business like this,the people with power are the ones that have the understanding of what's going on,not necessary the one's on top.It's very important those people have the knowledge are ones making the decision.So we setup something where everyone who had the knowledge on equal foot of what's going on.Intel's microprocessors kept getting more powerful.They soon had enough horsepower to run a whole computer,only Intel didn't appreciate the brilliance of their own products.Seeing it only as useful mainly for calculators,or traffic lights.Intel had all the elements necessary to invent the PC business but they just didn't get it.Lucky for us, someone did.This is the chip that launched the personal computer revolution.This is the magazine that announced it.In January 1975.featured on the cover was the world's first personal computer,the Altair 8800.It was the crazy idea of an ex air force officer from Georgia,Ed Roberts.If you'd look at it,it was kind of a grandiose.almost megalomaniac kind of scheme,you know.And right now I couldn't do it cause I couldn't see there's no way you could do this.But at that time,we just lack the benefits of age and experience and we didn't know we couldn't do it.20 years after Ed Robert's flash of brilliance,this exhibit being held to celebrate the anniversary of the Altair.Like every other other PC pioneer,Ed built his computer just because he wanted one to play with.There were some of us that lusted after a computers.really,at that time.All the computers in the world tended to be in big centers and you had to get permission to get close to them,nobody had access to computers then.And the idea that you can have your own computer and do whatever you wanted to,whenever you wanted to,was fantastic.And were all this happening?It was far from Silicon Valley,Intel,or IBM.Out in the desert,near the airport in Albuquerque,New Mexico,Ed Roberts ran a calculator company called MITS.Having an ugly building wasn't its only problem,MITS was going bankrupt.Nobody was buying calculators and Ed needed sixty-five thousand dollars just to stay afloat.We went to the bank and had a late night meeting and the issue was whether we close MITS down or they keep us an additional sixty-five thousand.And I was asked how many machines I think we would sell in the next year after it was introduced.And I said 800,and it was considered a wild eyed optimist at that.Within a month it was introduced,we were geeing 250 orders a day.The Altair wasn't even a computer,it was a computer kit.You had to build it yourself,and even then,it usually didn't work.Still,the demand was amazing.And there people who actually came to MITS.A couple of people with camper trailers camped out in the parking lot waiting for their machine,they were so eager.I think everybody had sorta daydreamed..about owning their own computer.The surprise was that it was possible for the average college student for example,who was living on bare subsistence,to actually buy a computer.This is what's really amazes me,was that people were so,there was a pent up demand for having your own computer.....And if it can be that cheap,what a wonderful thing.This is an Altair computer,the first personal computer.And not just any Altair,this is Altair serial number 2,the second one made,The first Altair made was sent off to be photographed at a magazine and it was lost in the mail.So this is the oldest personal computer in the world.Pretty historic junk,but the question is,what do you do with it?It has a front panel with switches you can click back and forth and some lights,but in the back,these no place to connect a keyboard,there's no place to connect a monitor,there's no place to connect a printer,In face,there's practically nothing at all you can really do with this thing.But back then,1975,the people who had it,were thrilled.The nerds formed clubs to talk about their new toy.One of the first was the Homebrew computer club, which met Wednesday evenings,at a hall rented from Stanford University back in Silicon valley.Presiding over near anarchy is Lee Felsenstein,who pretended to be in change.I would start the meeting by making a horrendous loud noise,because everyone was talking and I had to get some attention some how.And I would use it to call on the person in question,and I'd make threatening gestures with it.Most of us were in the electronics industry to s certain extent,but these's a ...stratum of physicians.And there were a lot of radio amateurs for instance,finding new technology that wasn't stale.But most of us were.at a certain middle-level downwards.We saw ourselves as crazed,ignored,geniuses or possible geniuses,but at least we could each hope to get our hands on a computer of our own.The very uselessness of the Altair is what drove the hobbyist together.Roger Mellon and Harry Garland started an early computer company.They came here to meet others and to figure out just what the heck could be done with this new toy.A solution in search of a problem.The Altair was tedious to use.At first,the only way data and instructions could be given to the computer was by flipping switches.Take something trivial like two plug two.Each two needed eight different switches to be flipped and the ninth switch was used to load them all.Add required another nine switches.The answer four was if the third light from the left turned on,eureka.So if you had a program a hundred bytes long,you had to go though this procedure a hundred times to load that into memory.It took a long time...and what happened if you lost power or you lost your way in the middle?...You cried The Altair may been frustrating but it drove the nerds to experiment,finding real uses for the useless box.Turning it from a curiosity to a computer.Steve setup an Altair,laboriously keyed a program into it, somebody knocked the plug out of the wall and he had to do that all over again,but nobody knew what this was about.After all,was it just going to sit there and flash its lights?Hr put a little transistor radio next to the Altair,and he would,by manipulating the length of loops in the software,could play tunes.The radio began playing,"The fool on the Hill",in the tinny little tunes that you could tell were coming from the noise that the computer was generating being picked up by the radio.Everybody rose and applauded.I proposed that he receive the stripped phillips screw award for finding a use for something previously thought useless.But I think everybody was too busy applauding to even hear me.It was a very exciting thing,probably the first thing that the Altairactually did.Turing the Altair into a useful tool required a programming language so users could type their programs in rather than flipping switches.What it needed was a version of some big computer language like BASIC,only modified for the PC.This was called a BASIC interpreter.But it didn't yet because the experts all thoughts that not even BASIC was basic enough to fit inside the tiny Altair memory.Yet again,the experts were wrong.Here comes the guy who solved the problem.20 years after finishing the first microcomputer BASIC,Paul Allen's returning to Albuquerque for a celebration of that event.This time with his fifteen million dollar jet and three foot red carpet. At a time when I was killing brain cells,this guy was founding an empire.He has come to eat rubber chicken in honor of the Altair's 20th anniversary.Allen co=founded Microsoft with is younger buddy from high school,Bill Gates.One day in Boston in Harvard Square,I uncovered Popular Electronics with this thing that looked like what I've been imagining.So I grabbed it off the shelf,I looked at it, bought it and ran back to Bill's dorm,and I think he was probably playing poker that night,usually money at that point,,,Paul showed that to me,then ok,here's a company that would be needing software,And he said ok,we got to called these guys up and see if this thing's for real.We realized that things are starting to happen,and because we had a vision for a long time of where this chip could go.What it could mean,That didn't mean the industry was going to wait for us while I stayed and finished my degree at Harvard.So called up Ed and we told him we've got this BASIC for your machine and it's not that far from being done,and we'd like to come out and show it to you .So we created this BASIC interpreter,Paul took the paper tape and flew out.in fact,the night before,he got some sleep while I double checked everything to make sure that we had it alright (I)had no idea what it's really like to run the software,it's never been ran on an actual computer before.He was very nervous about whether this would actually work,and got to the office and we all gathered around and he put his fingers on the switches,and he loaded BASIC in with paper tape,into the Altair.I was so nervous...and it worked.And it came up and it could do a few little simple things.And it was amazing when Paul called me up and said the thing worked the first time.And of course it was incredibly fast...And it printed out memory size and I think Bill said,"It printed something!"That was unbelievable,the fact that it really worked was a breakthrough.Maybe there wouldn't be a Microsoft if the screen hadn't come alive,who knows,it might have quite different.。

Memory sizeAfter the demo succeeded,Bill forgot about about finishing university.Afraid of missing his chance to dominate the new industry,he joined Allen what was then the center of worse micro-computing research,among the sleazy bars and gas stations of Albuquerque,New Mexico.And they lived across the street from MITS in the Sundowner motel,and the prostitutes and the drug dealers are out on the corner,and they were writing BASIC for the Altair computer and gradually they actually started Microsoft here in Albuquerque.We hired some of our high school friends basically to come down and stay with us in out apartment which became very crowded.We were pretty young,we started when I was 19,so we just had a lot of energy.They worked really hard,they listened to really loud music,I couldn't stand to go to the software room sometimes because the music banging off the walls,mostly acid rock.We usually go out and eat pizza and then go out and watch action movies.They would work all night long,and there were days when Bill Gates would be sleeping on the floor in the software lab....all sitting on tables around the apartment with stacks and stacks of paper writing the BASIC for the...I still know the source code by heart,that was a work of love,we just kept tuning and tuning tat thing,and that king of craftsmanship paid off.BASIC let Altair be used for both fun stuff and real work.People attached terminals to the computer and began writing games,word processors and accounting programs.Most of us didn't notice,but soon there was a thriving industry for enthusiasts.By the end of 1975,dozens of other companies were building micro-computers.We created an industry,and I think that goes completely unnoticed.There was nothing,every aspect of the industry,whether software,hardware,or application,you name it,it was all done at MITS.It was a wild time,it was a very exciting time.At the very were doing,what they're excited about to other companies.Like processor technology or inside command codes,got going as add-on companies. These companies are long forgotten,but they were the humble beginnings of the PC industry Lift in the hands of those early hobbyist,the PC might have never made it to the shopping mall.Reaching the wider market required a different type of vision.Enter the flower children of California,who thought the PC was,well,groovy. Remember the 60's happened in the early 70's right,so we'd have to remember that.So that's when I came of age,so I saw a lot of this,and to me...The spark of that,was that there was something beyond sort of what you see everybody. It's the same thing that causes people to want to be poets instead of bankers,And I think that's a wonderful thing,and I think that same spirit can be put into products.And those products can be manufactured and be given to people and they can sense that spirit.Out of this creative show and tell came Apple computer.The first mass market PC company.The Apple founders,a couple of recent graduates from Homestead High,were regulars at Homebrew meetings.Steve Wozinak was the technical wizard,and Steve Jobs was the visionary who saw microcomputers as a possible business.The first Apple computer was primitive.It was cobbles together by Woz to impress his friends at the Homebrew meeting.Everybody was interested in computers,so I start getting a crowd around me Because even though I was too shy to raise my hand and say anything at a club meeting after the club meeting,I would put my computer that I had built,and every week it had a little bit more workingon it too.But I would set it down and let people type on the keyboard and would explain what's in it.If they came up to me ask a question,I can answer,you know,now-a-days,I would have the ability to tell them what it is and you know,be a little bit more promotional,but back then I could only answer questions that they ask me,but I got a group that started gathering around me.And Steve Jobs saw that I had a lot of interest around me at the club and he said,let's start selling it,and let's make this company,came up with the name Apple and that's how it started.The Apple one was even less of a computer than the Altair.A single circuit board that came with neither a case nor a keyboard.Still,Steve Jobs managed to sell 50 Apple ones.That experience showed Jobs that was a market for a real computer,the Apple 2.It was very clear to me,that while there was a bunch of hardware hobbyists that could assemble there own computers or at least take our board and add the transformers,the power supply and the case the keyboard and go get the rest of the stuff.For every one of those,there,were a thousand people who couldn't do that but wanted to mess around with programming,software hobbyist.Just like I had been when I was 10, discovering that computer.And so my dream for the Apple 2 was to sell first real package computer.Steve Job's dream was impossible,it needed too many chops,making the product too complicated and expensive to build.But Woz didn't know it was impossible.And then I got into a way...why have a memory for your TV screen and memory for your computer,make'em one.And that shrunk the chips down,and I shrunk the chips here...and why not take these timing circuits,I look through the manuals and found a chip that did it in one chip instead of five,and reduced that...one thing after another after another happened,I wound up with so few chips, when I was done I said...Hey,computer that you could program,generated color patterns on a screen,or data or words,or play games,or anything.And it was just a computer I wanted for myself,pretty much.And it had turned out so good,he said,"I think we have a computer we could sell a thousand a month of."How can you sell a thousand,a month,you know?But we needed some money for tooling the case and things like that.We needed a few hundred thousand dollars...That was a lot of money for two people who had nothing in their lives to speak of,didn't have a four hundred dollar bank account.So I went looking for some venture capital.A scruffy 19 year old seduced the conservative world of venture capitalists.The man Jobs persuaded to part with his cash was Arthur Rock,the inventor of venture capital,and the man who had originally funded Intel.At least the Intel boys had graduated from university and owned suits.Well,he wore sandals and had very long hair and beard and mustache,but very articulate ...at one time in his life, it was probably when I first met him,he ate nothing but fruit.So as a main line venture capitalist,is this....this is not the norm.With money in hand,and under occasional adult supervision from an ex-Intel manager named Mike Markala, Woz and Jobs finished the Apple 2 and ordered a local factory to build one thousand machines.Two years past between the Altair and the Apple 2.And in that time,a lot of things have changed,we went from a computer that was designed or hobbyists and engineers and certainly looked like a piece of test equipment,to a computer that looked like a piece of computerelectronics,and we can thank Steve Jobs for that.His sense of design demanded the structural from case be used for the Apple 2,the first cade of its type on a personal computer,not that there wasn't good engineering inside either.The Apple 2 was a model of efficient engineering.Here's the floppy disk drive controller for example.There are 8 chips here where their previously would've been 35.This is an amazing bit of engineering that we could attribute to Steve Wozinak,who was certainly,the Mozart of digital design.And all told,it turned the Apple 2 into a sensation.The Apple 2 was launched at Jim Warren's west Coast Computer Fair,one of the first big microcomputer show.The 1978 show drew thousands of attendees and dozens of exhibitors.Many of them members of the Homebrew computer club,which spawned the early microcomputer companies.But there was only one company showing something that looked like a modern personal computer,right by the entrance,in a prime spot negotiated by Steve Jobs,sat the Apple 2,it mesmerized all who saw it.My recollection was we stole the show,and a lot of dealers and distributors started lining up...we were off and running.How old were you ?...21Following the West Coast Computer Faire,the next two years were ones of explosive growth for Apple.With thousands of customers arriving on the doorsteps os the tiny office in Cupertino,California.Sales and profit grew so quickly that Apple had more money than the company could spend,and the company was very young.The founders were in their twenties and some employees were even younger.Like 14 year old Chris Espinosa who never left,he still works at Apple,almost 20years later.There would be public demonstrations of our product every Tuesdays and Thursdays afternoon at three o'clock.And that was good cause it was after school,so I would get out of my Sophomore,Junior year of high school.I would ride my little moped down to the Apple offices.At three o'clock I'd give demonstrations of the Apple 2.When we were in the office,it was jokes and wiring up people's phones to do weird things,everyone of us,I mean,there was a person at Apple for a couple of years that was super serious,we were lucky,we had the hot product of it's day.And some of the people I did original demos to came up to me years later and said,I founded a hundred million dollar chain of computer stores based on the demo you showed me one Tuesday afternoon at Apple,its really fun.It went so successful that all of a sudden,Steve and I wouldn't have to worry about work for the rest of our lives,and then it got even more successful more successful after that,and it was sort of a shock .The Apple 2 set a new standard for personal computers and showed there was real money to be made.Rival companies popped up all over,but the market was still hobbyists,guys with big beards who thought a good use for their computer was controlling a model train set.But for microcomputers to be taken seriously they had to start doing things that needed doing.Functions that were useful,not just for fun.The enthusiasts market has its limits,to reach the rest of us,the Apple 2 needed what the nerds call a killer applications.Software that's so useful that people will buy computers just to run it.For the Apple 2,this application was call Visicalc.It came straight from the blackboards of the Harvard business school.Ibvented by a graduate student,Dan Bricklin and his programmer friend Bob Frankston,Visical was the first electronic spreadsheet.A spreadsheet is a tool for financial planning,brining together for the first time,the seduction of money with the power of micro-computing.Dan Bricklin's professor at Harvard showed how companies used a grid of numbers on a blackboard to work out profits and expenses.The trick to a spreadsheet is all the values in the table are related to the others.So changes in one year would ripple through the table affecting prices and profits in subsequent years.Students were asked to calculate how future profits would be affected by various business scenarios.It was called running the numbers and they did it laboriously by hand.Because each value was linked to the others,one mistake could mean disaster.Dan,who had worked as a programmer,started daydreaming about how he can use a computer to replace the tedious hand calculations.I imagined that there was a magic blackboard that did word processing like word wrapping,if you make a change to a word,it pulls everything back.Why not recalculate the same way,so that if I changed my number,I should've used ten percent instead of twelve percent,I'd just put it in and it would recalculate everything and go through it...and that would become the idea of an electronic spreadsheet.Following a model that common today,Dan Bricklin designed the program,but got his friend Bob Frankston to write the actual computer code.After months of programming late at night when computer time was cheaper,The Harvard business school blackboard came to lift.People who saw it and went and got it,like an accountant,I remember showing it to one here,and he started shaking and said,that's what I do all week,I can do it in an hour,and they would take their credit cards and shove it into their face.You have to remember what it was like in those days,we did not use the word spreadsheet because nobody know what spread sheet was.I came up with the name Visible Calculator or VIsical because we want to emphasis that aspect.Visicalc hit the market in October 1979,selling for one hundred dollars.Marv Goldschmitt sold the first copy at his computer store in Bedford,Massachusetts. After a slow start,Visical took off. What it did in our society,it gave people who were obsessed with numbers,whether they were a business or at home.How much am I worth today,how much is my stock portfolio worth,how am I doing with my budget on this project.It gave them the ability to play with scenarios and changes and say what if I do this.So it put people in a sense of control of the thing lots of people in society feels is driving them,and that's numbers.The spreadsheet was every businessman's crystal ball.It answered all those what-if questions.What if I fired the engineering department,what if I invest ten million dollars in pantyhose futures.Look,I'd be rich in under a year and have slimmer thighs at the same time,the computer says so.The effect of the spreadsheet was enormous.Armed with a Apple 2 running Visical,24 year old MBA with 2 pieces of dobious data could convince his corporate manager to allow him to loot the corporate manager to allow him to loot the corporate pension fund and do a leverage buy.It was the perfect tool for the 80's,the Me decade,when money was everything and greed was good.In 5 years,the PC had gone from being a hobbyist toy to an engine that shaped the times we lives in.Thanks to Visicalc,the Apple 2 made history.Everybody we talked to just seemed excited to talk about what we were doing.And there was huge media explosion,kind of like the internet we are seeing today,of this is the happening things.We read about it over and over and over,every time we took an airplane,you read about them.Every newspaper every week,you'd read something about small computers coming, Apple was one of the highlight companies,so we were being portrayed as a leader of a revolution and we really felt we were a leader of a revolution,we were going to change life a lot.内存的大小演示成功后,比尔忘了关于完成大学。
