My parents pay for tuition in Leyksayde, gave money for books but on the accounts of computer time I had to worry about myself. Prish- elk reflect on the commercial side programmistskogo business. But Paul Allen, we gathered a small group of developed and begun encourage simple program. Schoolchildren earnings was very vnushi- Selection is about 5000 dollars each summer (part cash, the rest computer time). We have also concluded agreements with several companies message, which can use their computers for free, if high yavim errors in the software.
One of the programs that I have written, was involved lists for classes brought about. Thaicom I added a few operators and has almost the only guy in class among the pretty girls. So from the machine have to allow strive so clearly successful, I could not unstick: I have been dotes on computers.
On the hardware of computers, machines themselves Paul knew too many me. One summer day in 1972 (I was sixteen, and Paul de vyatnadtsat), he showed me a small article zateryavshuyusya at 143rd country Nice Electronics magazine. It was reported that a young company Intel high let the microprocessor with the title 8008.
In 1975, when Paul and I decided to found his fearlessly company, we colonizers characters of Judy Garland films (Judy Garland) and Mickey Rooney (Mickey Rooney), which are flush shouting: "We put the show in the slightest shed! "More can not lose time. Our first project was how to create a version for Beysika "Altair."
You had to squeeze very much in a tiny memory of the machine. A typical "Altair" memory about 4 thousand characters. And today the majority of personal computers - to 4 or 8 million characters. The challenge was compounded by the fact that we did not have "Altair" we have not even seen it Del. Although it had no special significance, especially since our investment teresoval new microprocessor Intel 8080. However, "alive", we, too, it not seen! However, do not hesitate a minute, Paul reviewed documents this chip, and then wrote a program at Harvard zastavlyavshuyu DCE "construct of a" tiny "Altair." Not whether it is very similar to what as if you were a great orchestra, but you forced him to play simple the duo? But this works.
The first hear the term "information age", I thoroughly priza- dumalsya. I knew of the bronze and iron-century-historical periods, so named for the new materials, which then made instrument ments and weapons. It is all understandable. But I read the prophecies of scientists that state will soon fight for control over information, and not over natural resources. That sounds very intriguing, but that mean vaetsya "information"?
The assertion that the future for information reminded me famous affirming scene from the film The Graduate (graduate), issued on screens in 1967 year. A certain businessman touches button for Benjamin, a graduate college Ms. (Dustin Hoffman played it), and proiznosit just one word: "Plastmas- done. "So he naputstvuet young man in his early career. Interes- but if this scene wrote a few decades later, not say a businessman would otherwise: "Information"?
I submit as absurd conversations could take place in the business world re: "How many of you have information?", "Switzerland is a great country, they so much information! "," I heard the cost of information went index
