CSO: Super Duper computer store. Can I help you?
Newbie: Thanks. I’m setting up an office in my den and I’m
thinking
about buying a computer.
CSO: Mac?
Newbie: No, the name’s Lou.
CSO: Your computer?
Newbie: I don’t own a computer. I want to buy one.
CSO: Mac?
Newbie: I told you, my name’s Lou.
CSO: What about Windows?
Newbie: Why? Will it get stuffy in here?
CSO: Do you want a computer with Windows?
Newbie: I don’t know. What will I see when I look at the windows?
CSO: Wallpaper.
Newbie: Never mind the windows. I need a computer and software.
CSO: Software for Windows?
Newbie: No. On the computer! I need something I can use to write
proposals and track expenses and run my business. What do you have?
CSO: Office.
Newbie: Yeah, for my office. Can you recommend anything?
CSO: I just did.
Newbie: You just did what?
CSO: Recommend something.
Newbie: You recommended something?
CSO: Yes.
Newbie: For my office?

Newbie: OK, what did you recommend for my office?

Newbie: I already have an office with windows! OK, let’s just say
I’m sitting at my computer and I want to type a proposal. What do I need?
CSO: Word.
Newbie: What word?
CSO: Word in Office.
Newbie: The only word in office is office.
CSO: The Word in Office for Windows.
Newbie: Which word in office for windows?
CSO: The Word you get when you click the blue “W”.
Newbie: I’m going to click your blue “w” if you don’t start with
some straight answers. What about financial bookkeeping? You have anything
I can track my money with?
CSO: Money.
Newbie: That’s right. What do you have?
CSO: Money.
Newbie: I need money to track my money?
CSO: It comes bundled with your computer.
Newbie: What’s bundled with my computer?

Newbie: I get a bundle of money with my computer? How much?

CSO: Microsoft gave us a license to copy Money.
Newbie: They can give you a license to copy money?
