硅之牛仔Silicon Cowboys Movie Script

Rod canion:

Today, compaq computer corporation Is stepping to the forefront of the personal computer industry.

The compaq deskpro 386 is by far the most advanced High performance personal computer available in the world Today.

The 386 era is here.

Everyone at intel is very enthused about compaq's Announcement today.

Announcer:

The system has a maximum ram Capacity of 14 megabytes.

This provides more than enough memory For not only today's applications, But for tomorrow's as well.

Of course, compaq was first out of the gate With a 386 computer, but this time ibm is not in the picture.

Rod canion:

We spent a lot of time trying to prove, Absolutely beyond a shadow of a doubt, That this thing was going to work And it was going to succeed, so how better Than having bill gates himself standing Up and saying how great it was.

The original vision of microsoft-- that there would Eventually be a machine on most desktops for office work, Will be fulfilled by the power of this type of machine.

It's gutsy, and the industry was like, whoa.

I'm sure ibm went, they what?

We did not see it coming.

They couldn't have been happy.

And we couldn't have been happier.

Compaq insists that I tell you about their new 386 computer, Which they say is the most advanced desktop ever made.

But they're still sticking to this cock and bull story About it being made from 386 chips and 32 bits of a bus.

Frankly, this is not credible.

It's an insult to your intelligence.

If I were you, I wouldn't watch this commercial.

In fact, I'll switch over for you.

That was the first time that we came out so far ahead of them That people started asking what happened to ibm.

I mean, you just follow what ibm does, right?

That was the beginning of somebody Putting real chips behind ibm is vulnerable and intel did that.

The funny thing is that certain other companies are still Trying to make one of these.

So if you work for mm, mm, mm, ha! Remember, all you need are 386 chips and 32 bits of a bus.
