Costello:
Thanks. I'm setting up an office in
my den, and I'm thinking about
buying a computer.
Abbot: Mac?
Costello: No, the name's Lou
Abbot: Your
computer?
Costello: I don't own a computer. I
want to buy one.
Abbot: Mac?
Costello: I told you, my name's 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.

Recommend something?

Costello: For my office?
Abbot: Yes
Costello: OK, what did you recommend
for my office?

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. What about financial
bookkeeping, you have anything I can
track my money with?
Abbot: Sure, 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 with 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.
