New Business

Hey, man, slow down, this thing can't stand the toss." At the door of Youngstown Court of First Instance, Dean is directing the loaders to unload the goods from the truck.

"Don't worry, man. We are professional in handling." The workers in green fluorescent vests looked very calm.

"Okay, I just..." Dean stroked with his hand, "I'm just a little worried."

It's not to blame him for being nervous. The loading and unloading workers may not know. But Dean knew that the big guy in the car was worth eight or nine thousand dollars.

IBM's latest enterprise server AS/400 in 1988 is equipped with a 5GB hard disk.

Why should we use a desk to describe the hard disk? Because this thing is bigger than the refrigerator, weighing a full 500 pounds, it is a veritable Big Mac.

One server, one hard disk, and then they will form a new workstation of Youngstown Court of First Instance.

Yes, this workstation is specially prepared for the DCAP office system developed by Dean.

After the trial operation of the previous week, DCAP performed well, and the four judges of the Youngstown Court of First Instance were even used to using it to work.

Not only the judges like it, but also the secretaries in charge of documentation and the judicial police.

"Dean, do you need a break?" Larion came over with two bottles of coke.

"Thank you, Larion." Dean unscrewed the coke and took a sip. "But I still need to stare here. You know they are very expensive."

"Dean, the system you developed is very useful since you had it. I no longer have to push the cart full of file bags and walk around the hall.

In the past, when the summary of the file or a judge needed to access the file, it was the middle work of a judicial police officer like Larion.

But with DCAP, the judge can do all this with a few taps on the keyboard in his office.

Larian doesn't know what other people's impression of DCAP is? But she is definitely one of the staunch supporters.

"Thank you for your approval, Larion." After seeing all the goods unloaded, Dean turned around and talked to her at ease.

I want DCAP to run more smoothly and call more information. Then we need to upgrade it. The previous server can no longer afford such work.

The Youngstown Court of First Instance also had a server before, but it was an antique more than ten years ago. It is barely feasible to run DCAP on just a few computers, but it is not enough to add the computer of the whole court and the future network functions.

Speaking of Dean's "excrement" software, which he changed the shell, also downloaded data from the old server of the court before. For his own sake, he also prefers the court to upgrade the server.

There is no doubt that as a system developer, he will also be responsible for the hardware upgrade of the court of first instance.

Of course, these hardware have been called and purchased in advance, and not one student can interfere in this work.

Even in the eyes of many people, it is very difficult for the software developed by Dean to be officially applied. This is a court, a public office, even if it is an inconspicuous small local court.

After the server and hard disk were moved into the computer room, Dean and the technicians sent by IBM began to build a workstation.

In fact, it is mainly set up by IBM people, and he assists them. Although Dean also knows a general idea, this is a rare opportunity to learn. Of course, you need to know more about it.

The construction of the workstation is not complicated. After the hardware is in place and debugging, it will be almost done in half a day. The rest of the time is Dean discussing network technology-related issues with IBM people.

"Dean, it's hard to imagine that there will be people who know computers in a place like Youngstown. No, you are a genius.

"Bob, thank you for teaching me so much. I'm still learning. Computer is a very profound knowledge.

"You're right, Dean." Bob packed up his things. "The computer is really esoteric and fascinating, but if you want to go further, I suggest you go to California and Silicon Valley. There is a wider world there. Youngstown or the whole of Ohio is too small.

"California... Silicon Valley..." Dean looked longing for it, "The holy place of computers."

"That's right, Holy Land!" After Bob nodded with a smile, he left the computer room and his work was completed.

"Well, it's a good idea. But before that, let's get the DCAP done first. Dean began to debug the software again.

In the next two days, Dean was basically in the computer room, and finally on the third morning, everything was on the right track.

After entering the last line of command in the workstation, Dean gently tapped the Enter button.

Di, as the green signal lights on the server turned on one by one, he finally breathed a great relief.

After handing over the precautions with the staff here, Dean came to Judge Witt's office on the third floor.

"Judge Witt, DCAP is ready." At the first sentence when he entered the door, Dean reported the news.

"I've seen it, oh~" Judge Witt knocked on the computer a few times. "They are incredibly smooth."

"Your recognition is my greatest honor." Dean smiled and made a gentleman's salute.

"Well, it seems that our talented student can't wait to get his reward." Judge Witt, who was in a good mood, opened the drawer and took out a check from it. Take it. You deserve it.

"Thank you for your generosity." Dean did not refuse, and he happily accepted it.

I finally got all the three thousand dollars, for the development of an office system. Although it is not much, it is at least a recognition of Dean's knowledge.

"That's right, Dean. If the subsequent maintenance of the DCAP system is good, it may be favored by courts in other parts of Ohio.

Just as Dean was about to leave, Judge Witt suddenly reminded him of something.

Dean's eyes flashed, and he certainly understood what this sentence meant. This means more than 3,000 dollars. No, the next customer wants DCAP, but that's not the price.

Judge Witt, my school is in Cleveland. If there is any problem with the use of DCAP, I can get there in an hour and a half.

"Good!" Judge Witt was very satisfied with Dean's attitude. "I will recommend this system to the state, and you can come and pick up your recommendation at any time."

"You are an upright and kind lady." Dean nodded politely before leaving the office quietly.

Looking at his departing back, Witt smiled and continued to study DCAP with great interest.

She needs to familiarize herself with it as soon as possible, and then solemnly introduce it to the Supreme Court justice. She finally adopted Dean's DCAP, not only because of talent, or how important the system is.

Cheryl. It is true that Witt is the most experienced judge in the Youngstown Court of First Instance, but Ohio judges are not life-long.

If you want to be re-elected, you can even go further to the higher appeals court and the state Supreme Court. Without your own advantages or political capital, relying on experience alone, this is undoubtedly too illusory.

She needs a bright spot, just like the presidential candidate needs a topic. At every meeting or speech, Cheryl. Witt can take DCAP as his achievement.

In particular, the more successful DCAP is and the wider the application, the more eye-catching her highlights will be.

Three thousand dollars is business! She promised to promote DCAP in exchange for Dean's full support for this software, which would make her achievements more brilliant and business!

If Dean is smart enough, he will know what to do next.
