概要: 关于苹果第一代Macintosh的开发以及制造它的人的轶事: 我们都盛装打扮以纪念史蒂夫·卡普斯 , 史蒂夫·卡普斯日 Steve Capps Day
The software for the Macintosh computer was almost finished in the fall of 1983. Most of the system software was stored in Read-Only Memory (ROM), and it was working okay.
Larry Kenyon came up with a smart idea to fix problems in the ROM. He found a way to add a small piece of code that looked at the address of the part of the ROM that was causing the problem.
This allowed us to fix the problem by adding a small piece of code, instead of replacing a big part of the ROM, which would have used up precious RAM.
Macintosh 计算机的软件在 1983 年秋天几乎完成。大部分系统软件都存储在只读存储器(ROM)中,并且运行良好。
Larry Kenyon 提出了一个解决 ROM 中问题的聪明主意。他找到了一种方法来添加一小段代码来查看导致问题的 ROM 部分的地址。
这使我们能够通过添加一小段代码来解决问题,而不是替换大部分 ROM,因为这会耗尽宝贵的 RAM。
By November 1983, MacPaint was almost ready to be released. Even though it sometimes ran out of memory when we made changes, it was close enough to be released.
MacWrite had a lot of problems, but it could do its main job as long as we didn’t try to use too much memory.
The only important program that might cause us to miss our deadline in January was the Finder. This program controls other programs and files and is very important.
到 1983 年 11 月,MacPaint 几乎已经准备好发布了。尽管当我们进行更改时有时会耗尽内存,但它已经足够接近可以被释放了。
MacWrite 有很多问题,但只要我们不尝试使用太多内存,它就可以完成其主要工作。
唯一可能导致我们错过一月份截止日期的重要程序是 Finder。该程序控制其他程序和文件,非常重要。
Bruce Horn was the only person working on the Finder, a program. He was having trouble because of many problems, especially when copying files when the computer didn’t have enough memory.
The Finder was built on top of a management system made by Bruce, using features that weren’t finished yet when the computer’s operating system was made final.
It would have been better if two people were working on it, but Bruce was very smart, very dedicated, and very proud. He thought he could do it himself and finish it on time.
布鲁斯·霍恩 (Bruce Horn) 是唯一参与 Finder 程序的人。他遇到了很多问题,尤其是在计算机内存不足的情况下复制文件时。
Finder 建立在 Bruce 制作的管理系统之上,使用了计算机操作系统最终确定时尚未完成的功能。
如果两个人一起工作就更好了,但布鲁斯非常聪明,非常专注,而且非常自豪。他认为他自己可以做到并按时完成。
Jerome, the person in charge of Macintosh software, was worried that Bruce was not going to be able to finish his work.
Jerome knew he needed to find someone else to help Bruce, but it was hard because Bruce was very particular and easily stressed when someone else helped.
Luckily, Steve Capps was the right person to help Bruce.
麦金塔软件的负责人杰罗姆担心布鲁斯无法完成他的工作。
杰罗姆知道他需要找其他人来帮助布鲁斯,但这很难,因为布鲁斯非常挑剔,当别人帮忙时很容易感到压力。
幸运的是,史蒂夫·卡普斯是帮助布鲁斯的合适人选。
Capps was a very good and creative computer programmer who came to work with the Mac team in 1983.
He was really good at his job and gave us a lot of energy when we were feeling tired and stressed.
Capps was a strong-built man with brown hair and a beard. He was one of the few people that Bruce respected and listened to.
He was also very friendly and easy-going, which was a good match for Bruce who was always worried and intense.
Capps 是一位非常优秀且富有创造力的计算机程序员,于 1983 年加入 Mac 团队。
他非常擅长他的工作,当我们感到疲倦和压力时,他给了我们很多能量。
卡普斯是一个体格健壮的男人,有着棕色的头发和胡须。他是布鲁斯尊重和倾听的少数人之一。
他也非常友好和随和,这与总是担心和紧张的布鲁斯很匹配。
To reduce distractions, Jerome decided that Bruce and Capps should move to a small office that was a few blocks away.
Bruce and Capps were going to help get the Finder project back on track. Capps took over some tasks from Bruce and worked hard.
It wasn’t always easy, but by the end of December, it looked like the project was getting better.
为了减少干扰,杰罗姆决定布鲁斯和卡普斯应该搬到几个街区外的一个小办公室。
Bruce 和 Capps 将帮助 Finder 项目重回正轨。卡普斯从布鲁斯手中接手了一些任务,努力工作。
这并不总是那么容易,但到 12 月底,项目似乎正在变得更好。
Jerome came up with a special way to thank Capps for his amazing work. Capps stands out because of his quirky style.
He always wears a long-sleeved white shirt, cut-off jeans, white socks, and a specific kind of sneakers called Vans.
He even gave each team member a pair of Vans as a Christmas gift. Jerome thought it would be fun to honor Capps by declaring a special “Steve Capps Day”.
On that day, everyone would wear the same clothes as Capps, just like him.
杰罗姆想出了一种特殊的方式来感谢卡普斯的出色工作。卡普斯因其古怪的风格而脱颖而出。
他总是穿着长袖白衬衫、破洞牛仔裤、白袜子和一种叫做 Vans 的特殊运动鞋。
他甚至送给每位队员一双Vans作为圣诞礼物。杰罗姆认为通过宣布一个特殊的“史蒂夫·卡普斯日”来纪念卡普斯会很有趣。
那天,每个人都会穿和卡普斯一样的衣服,就像他一样。
I went to Macy’s to buy a white shirt. But instead, I found a shirt that looked similar to what Capps wears. The next day, we all gathered in our office in Bandley 3.
Everyone wore shirts like Capps’ because we wanted to have fun. Even the French and German visitors who were staying with us for a month joined in.
But the funniest person was probably Patti Kenyon, who was 8 months pregnant and wore a big white shirt.
我去梅西百货买了一件白衬衫。但相反,我发现了一件看起来与卡普斯穿的相似的衬衫。第二天,我们都聚集在班德利 3 号的办公室。
每个人都穿着像卡普斯那样的衬衫,因为我们想玩得开心。就连和我们一起住了一个月的法国和德国游客也加入了进来。
不过最搞笑的可能是帕蒂·凯尼恩了,她已经怀孕8个月了,穿着一件大白衬衫。
Jerome went to get Capps and Bruce from their group, telling them they had to go to a very important meeting.
We couldn’t help but laugh when Capps walked in, not knowing what was happening.
Then we finally laughed so hard we couldn’t control ourselves, and we all clapped for him when he realized it was a joke.
杰罗姆去把卡普斯和布鲁斯从他们的小组中叫出来,告诉他们必须去参加一个非常重要的会议。
当卡普斯走进来时,我们忍不住笑了,不知道发生了什么事。
然后我们终于笑得无法控制自己,当他意识到这是一个笑话时,我们都为他鼓掌。
