Lang also got him into the Hewlett-Packard Explorers Club, a group of 15 or so students who met in the company cafeteria on Tuesday nights. "They would get an engineer from one of the labs to come and talk about what he was working on," Jobs recalled. "My dad would drive me there. I was in heaven. HP was a pioneer of light-emitting diodes. So we talked about what to do with them." Because his father now worked for a laser company, that topic particularly interested him. One night he cornered one of HP's laser engineers after a talk and got a tour of the holography lab. But the most lasting impression came from seeing the small computers the company was developing. "I saw my first desktop computer there. It was called the 9100A, and it was a glorified calculator but also really the first desktop computer. It was huge, maybe forty pounds, but it was a beauty of a thing. I fell in love with it."
朗還讓喬布斯加入了惠普探索者俱樂部,這是一個(gè)每周一次的聚會(huì),每周二晚在公司餐廳進(jìn)行,有大概15個(gè)學(xué)生參加?!八麄儠?huì)從實(shí)驗(yàn)室里請(qǐng)來一個(gè)工程師,給我們講講他正在研究的東西,”喬布斯回憶,“我爸爸會(huì)開車送我去。我感覺那兒就是我的天堂?;萜债?dāng)時(shí)是發(fā)光二極管的行業(yè)先鋒,所以我們就會(huì)討論發(fā)光二極管的一些問題?!币?yàn)楫?dāng)時(shí)父親為一家激光公司工作,所以喬布斯對(duì)發(fā)光二極管特別感興趣。有一天晚上,聚會(huì)結(jié)束之后,他攔住了惠普的一名激光工程師,獲得了參觀他們?nèi)z影實(shí)驗(yàn)室的機(jī)會(huì)。但讓他印象深刻的還是見到了當(dāng)時(shí)惠普正在開發(fā)的小型計(jì)算機(jī)。“我在那里第一次見到了臺(tái)式計(jì)算機(jī),它被成為9100A,是一臺(tái)被神化了的計(jì)算器,但也確實(shí)是第一臺(tái)臺(tái)式計(jì)算機(jī)。它身形巨大,大概有40磅重,但它真的很美,我愛上了它。”
