Appicella quickly scrolled through a few pages of the file.
He was stunned. Could this possibly be real? He quickly removed the communications diskette from the floppy drive and inserted a blank diskette, then instructed the computer to copy the file, SUM. In seconds, the file had been copied onto his floppy diskette.
"How is it going?" Majorov's voice suddenly asked from immediately behind him.
Appicella jumped. Majorov had entered the room from his adjoining office and was now looking over his shoulder.
"I've just this moment got the whole thing together," he said, quickly typing in other instructions.
"I'm ready to copy from your old ten-megabyte hard disk to your new twenty-megabyte one. Watch." He hit the return key and the message, DISK COPY IN OPERATION. STAND BY. came onto the screen.
"There." Appicella said, "it's copying now."
"How long will it take?" Majorov asked.
"Well, I don't know how much is on your old disk. If there's a lot, it could take several hours. It's transferring information at 9600 baud, though, and that's fast." Appicella pushed back his chair.
"Well, there's nothing to do but leave the equipment to do its work. I think I'll call it a day."
"Come on into my office," Majorov said.
"I'll buy you a drink."
"I could use one," Appicella replied, following him. In the next room, he sank into a sofa, while Majorov got together an iced bottle of Stolichnaya and opened a tin of caviar.
"I think this calls for a celebration," Majorov said.
"completing your work so quickly."
Appicella shrugged.
"It was all pretty straightforward," he said, "given the development work I had already done.
You certainly came to the right man."
Majorov smiled and lifted a glass.
"I'll drink to that." he said.
"You've done your usual fine job."
"Thank you, Viktor. I've also installed a new internal modern, for transmitting data over telephone lines. Your old one only worked at 300 baud. The new one works at 300, 1200, or 2400 baud, and you can install your own password to prevent any tampering with your data.
"That sounds great, Emilio. Will it be very secure?"
"Of course. You can change the password as often as you like with a few keystrokes. Not even I could crack it from outside. I'll show your secretary how it works, then I'll have a couple of hours instruction for your girls tomorrow morning, and that'll be it. Since they'll still be using the WordStar software, there will be very little new for them to learn, just how to gain access and so forth. I'll like to be on my way by lunchtime. if you can arrange some transportation for me."
Majorov said nothing for a moment, merely gazed at the Italian. Then he said, softly, "Emilio, I'd like you to stay on for a few days more, just in case there are any bugs in the equipment."
"There will be no bugs," Appicella protested.
"Every thing has been thoroughly tested, hardware and software.
It was perfectly straightforward, I told you. In any case, I've a great deal of work waiting for me in Rome, and I must get back.
