    ABBOT: Super Duper computer store. Can I help you?
    COSTELLO: Thanks. I'm setting up an office in my den,
    and I'm thinking about buying a computer.
    ABBOT: Mac?
    COSTELLO: No, the names Lou.
    ABBOT: Your computer?
    COSTELLO: I don't own a computer. I want to buy one.
    ABBOT: Mac?
    COSTELLO: I told you, my names Lou.
    ABBOT: What about Windows?
    COSTELLO: Why? Will it get stuffy in here?
    ABBOT: Do you want a computer with Windows?
    COSTELLO: I don't know. What will I see when I look in
    the windows?
    ABBOT: Wallpaper.
    COSTELLO: Never mind the windows. I need a computer
    and software.
    ABBOT: Software for Windows?
    COSTELLO: No. On the computer! I need something I can use to write
    proposals, track expenses and run my business. What have you got?
    ABBOT: Office.
    COSTELLO: Yeah, for my office. Can you recommend
    anything?
    ABBOT: I just did.
    COSTELLO: You just did what?
    ABBOT: Recommend something.
    COSTELLO: You recommended something?
    ABBOT: Yes.
    COSTELLO: For my office?
    ABBOT: Yes
    COSTELLO: OK, what did you recommend for my office?
    ABBOT: Office.
    COSTELLO: Yes, for my office!
    ABBOT: I recommend Office with Windows.
    COSTELLO: I already have an office and it has windows! OK, let's just say,
    I'm sitting at my computer and I want to type a proposal. What do I need?
    ABBOT: Word.
    COSTELLO: What word?
    ABBOT: Word in Office.
    COSTELLO: The only word in office is office.
    ABBOT: The Word in Office for Windows.
    COSTELLO: Which word in office for windows?
    ABBOT: The Word you get when you click the blue w.
    COSTELLO: I'm going to click your blue w if you don't
    start with some straight answers. OK, forget that. Can I watch movies on the
    Internet?
    ABBOT: Yes, you want RealOne.
    COSTELLO: Maybe a real one, maybe a cartoon. What I
    watch is none of your business. just tell me what I need!
    ABBOT: RealOne.
    COSTELLO: If it's a long movie I also want to see reels 2, 3 & 4. Can I
    watch them?
    ABBOT: Of course.
    COSTELLO: Great, with what?
    ABBOT: RealOne.
    COSTELLO; OK, I'm at my computer and I want to watch a
    movie. What do I do?
    ABBOT: You click the blue 1.
    COSTELLO: I click the blue one what?
    ABBOT: The blue 1.
    COSTELLO: Is that different from the blue w?
    ABBOT: The blue 1 is RealOne and the blue w is Word.
    COSTELLO: What word?
    ABBOT: The Word in Office for Windows.
    COSTELLO: But there's three words in office for windows!
    ABBOT: No, just one. But it's the most popular Word in
    the world.
    COSTELLO: It is?
    ABBOT: Yes, but to be fair, there aren't many other Words left. It pretty
    much wiped out all the other Words out there.
    COSTELLO: And that word is real one?
    ABBOT: RealOne has nothing to do with Word. RealOne
    isn't even part of Office.
    COSTELLO: Stop! Don't start that again. What about
    financial bookkeeping? You have anything I can track my money with?
    ABBOT: Money.
    COSTELLO: That's right. What do you have?
    ABBOT: Money.
    COSTELLO: I need money to track my money?
    ABBOT: It comes bundled with your computer.
    COSTELLO: What's bundled to my computer?
    ABBOT: Money.
    COSTELLO: Money comes with my computer?
    ABBOT: Yes. No extra charge.
    COSTELLO: I get a bundle of money with my computer?
    How much?
    ABBOT: One copy.
    COSTELLO: Isn't it illegal to copy money?
    ABBOT: Microsoft gave us a license to copy Money.
    COSTELLO: They can give you a license to copy money?
    ABBOT: Why not, they own it.
