Michal Ždanský Inali 1999, ndipo inali imodzi mwamawu ofunikira kwambiri a Apple. Steve Jobs wangobwera kumene kuti apulumutse kampani yomwe ikulephera pang'onopang'ono iye ndi Steve Wozniak kamodzi anayambitsa garaja yake. Madzulo a tsikulo, Steve ankayenera kupereka zinthu zinayi zazikulu.
Quartet ya makompyuta inali gawo la njira yatsopano, kufewetsa mbiriyo kukhala zinthu zinayi zazikulu zomwe zidzatsimikizire tsogolo la kampani ya Apple. 2 × 2 masikweya matrix, wosuta × katswiri, kompyuta × kunyamula. Chokopa chachikulu pa chiwonetsero chonsecho chinali iMac, yomwe idakhala chizindikiro cha makompyuta a Macintosh kwa zaka zingapo zikubwerazi. Mapangidwe okongola, osangalatsa komanso atsopano, odziwa bwino ntchito zamkati, CD-ROM drive yolowa m'malo mwa floppy disk drive yakale, zonsezi zinali zojambula zomwe ziyenera kubweretsanso kampaniyo kumasewera.
Koma madzulo amenewo, Steve anali ndi chinthu chinanso m'manja mwake, laputopu yopangira ogwiritsa ntchito wamba - iBook. Izi zotsogola za MacBooks zidalimbikitsidwa kwambiri ndi iMac, makamaka pamapangidwe. Osati pachabe Steve adayitcha iMac yoyendera. Pulasitiki yamitundu yowoneka bwino yophimbidwa ndi mphira wamitundu, ichi chinali chatsopano kwambiri panthawiyo, chomwe sichinawonekere m'mabuku achikhalidwe. Maonekedwe ake adapatsa iBook dzina loti "clamshell".
IBook idadziwika osati chifukwa cha kapangidwe kake, komwe kamakhala ndi chingwe chomangirira, komanso mawonekedwe ake, omwe amaphatikiza purosesa ya 300 Mhz PowerPC, zithunzi zamphamvu za ATI, 3 GB hard drive ndi 256 MB ya kukumbukira opareshoni. Apple idapereka kompyutayi $1, yomwe inali mtengo wabwino kwambiri panthawiyo. Izi zikanakhala zokwanira kwa chinthu chopambana, koma sizikanakhala Steve Jobs ngati alibe china chake chobisika, wotchuka wake. Chinthu chinanso…
Mu 1999, Wi-Fi inali ukadaulo watsopano, ndipo kwa ogwiritsa ntchito wamba, chinali chinthu chomwe amatha kuwerenga bwino m'magazini aukadaulo. Kalelo, anthu ambiri amalumikizana ndi intaneti pogwiritsa ntchito chingwe cha Ethernet. Ngakhale kuti chiyambi cha teknoloji yokha chinayambira mu 1985, Wi-Fi Alliance, yomwe inathandiza kwambiri kulimbikitsa lusoli komanso kupeza ma patent ofunikira, inakhazikitsidwa patatha zaka 14 zokha. Muyezo wa IEEE 802.11, womwe umadziwikanso kuti Wireless Fidelity, unayamba kuwonekera pazida zingapo kuzungulira 1999, koma palibe imodzi yomwe idapangidwira anthu ambiri.

Chakumapeto kwa mawu ofunikira, Jobs adawonetsa zina mwazinthu zomwe zingatheke ndi laputopu yatsopano. Kuti awonetse mtundu wa chiwonetserocho, adatsegula msakatuli ndikupita patsamba la Apple. Adatchula mwanthabwala zomwe zikuchitika pa intaneti (zowulutsa pompopompo), zomwe opezekapo amatha kupita kukawonera. Mwadzidzidzi adagwira iBook ndikupita nayo pakati pa siteji, akadali akuyang'ana malo a CNN. Anthu amene analipo anachita chidwi kwambiri, ndipo kenako kuwomba m'manja kwadzaoneni ndi kufuula mokweza. Pakadali pano, Steve Jobs adapitiliza ulaliki wake ngati kuti palibe chomwe chidachitika ndipo adapitilizabe kukweza masamba kutali ndi chingwe chilichonse cha ethernet.
Kuti awonjezere matsenga a kugwirizanitsa opanda zingwe, adatenga hoop yokonzekera m'dzanja lake lina ndikukokera iBook kuti afotokoze momveka bwino kwa munthu womaliza mwa omvera kuti panalibe mawaya paliponse komanso kuti zomwe akuwona zinali chiyambi cha kusintha kwina kwakung'ono, kusintha kwa maukonde opanda zingwe. “Palibe mawaya. chikuchitika ndi chani apa?” Steve anafunsa funso losamveka. Kenako adalengeza kuti iBook ikuphatikizanso AirPort, intaneti yopanda zingwe. Chifukwa chake iBook idakhala kompyuta yoyamba yopangidwira msika wogula kuti iwonetse luso laling'onoli.
Nthawi yomweyo, rauta yoyamba yopereka Wi-Fi hotsport - AirPort Base Station - idayambitsidwa, zomwe zidapangitsa kugwiritsa ntchito ukadaulo wopanda zingwe m'nyumba ndi makampani. Mtundu woyamba unafika 11 Mbps. Choncho Apple inali ndi udindo wofalitsa teknoloji yomwe inali yosadziwika kwa anthu ambiri m'njira yomwe Steve Jobs yekha akanakhoza kuchita. Masiku ano, Wi-Fi ndi muyezo wathunthu kwa ife, mu 1999 inali ukadaulo waukadaulo womwe umamasula ogwiritsa ntchito kufunikira kogwiritsa ntchito chingwe kuti alumikizane ndi intaneti. Izi zinali MacWorld 1999, imodzi mwamawu ofunikira kwambiri a Apple m'mbiri ya kampaniyo.
[chitapo kanthu = "tip"/] MacWorld 1999 inali ndi mphindi zina zosangalatsa. Mwachitsanzo, chiwonetsero chonsecho sichinaperekedwe ndi Steve Jobs, koma ndi wosewera Noah Wyle, yemwe anayenda pa siteji mu siginecha ya Jobs yakuda turtleneck ndi jeans yabuluu. Noah Wyle adawonetsa Steve Jobs mu kanema wa Pirates of Silicon Valley, yomwe idachitika m'malo owonetsera chaka chomwecho.
1999, zaka zokongola.. Ndipo Steve anali akadali wathanzi panthawiyo.... Ndimakonda zinthu zakale izi… Ndipo ndimamumvera chisoni Steve… Anali wamasomphenya….
