Me human being, You computer


J'ai découvert ceci sur le site alpha-geek.fr. C'est en anglais mais assez compréhensible. Cela nous montre à quel points certains termes peuvent être interprétés différemment. Surtout quand on est un gros boulet informatique. OK, je suis un peu geek sur les bords mais bon il y a des limites à la connerie quand même...

_ Abbott: 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.
_ Abbott: Mac?
_ Costello: No, the name's Lou.
_ Abbott: Your computer?
_ Costello: I don't own a computer. I want to buy one.
_ Abbott: Mac?
_ Costello: I told you, my name's Lou.
_ Abbott: What about Windows?
_ Costello: Why? Will it get stuffy in here?
_ Abbott: Do you want a computer with Windows?
_ Costello: I don't know. What will I see when I look at the windows?
_ Abbott: Wallpaper.
_ Costello: Never mind the windows. I need a computer and software.
_ Abbott: Software for Windows?
Costello: No. On the computer! I need something I can use to write proposals, track expenses and run my business. What do you have?
_ Abbott: Office.
_ Costello: Yeah, for my office. Can you recommend anything?
_ Abbott: I just did.
_ Costello: You just did what?
_ Abbott: Recommend something.
_ Costello: You recommended something?
_ Abbott: Yes.
_ Costello: For my office?
_ Abbott: Yes
_ Costello: OK, what did you recommend for my office?
_ Abbott: Office.
_ Costello: Yes, for my office!
_ Abbott: I recommend Office with Window's
_ Costello: 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?
_ Abbott: Word.
_ Costello: What word?
_ Abbott: Word in Office.
_ Costello: The only word in office is office.
_ Abbott: The Word in Office for Windows.
_ Costello: Which word in office for windows?
_ Abbott: 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?
_ Abbott: Money.
_ Costello: That's right. What do you have?
_ Abbott: Money.
_ Costello: I need money to track my money?
_ Abbott: It comes bundled with your computer.
_ Costello: What's bundled with my computer?
_ Abbott: Money.
_ Costello: Money comes with my computer?
_ Abbott: Yes. No extra charge.
_ Costello: I get a bundle of money with my computer? How much?
_ Abbott: One copy.
_ Costello: Isn't it illegal to copy money?
_ Abbott: Microsoft gave us a license to copy Money.
_ Costello: They can give you a license to copy money?
_ Abbott: Why not? THEY OWN IT!
