DIALOGUE1
Caroline: This bloody computer!
Aaron: What seems to be the problem?
C: My computer just crashed again for the third time today!
A: What were you doing when it crashed?
C: I was just opening up an attachment in an email
about winning the lottery.
A: I think that might have been a virus.
C: Oh, no! I thought it seemed a bit strange.
A: What kind of computer do you have, a Mac or a PC?
C: It's a Pc. Doesn't everyone have a PC in this office?
A: No, some people have Macs now, too.
C: What's the difference?
A: PCs often crash from viruses,
but it's nearly impossible to get a virus from a Mac.
C: I didn't know that.
A: Has your computer turned back on yet?
C: Yes.
A: Did you end up losing any of your work?
C: Fortunately, I saved my work right before it crashed,
so it should be OK.
A: You should probably call the IT department and
have them check your computer for Vlruses.
C: That's a good idea. I'll call them now. Thanks for your help!
DIALOGUE2
A: The sound quality on your computer is great!
Did the speakers come with your computer or did you buy them
as an add-on?
C: I bought the speakers separately, but they're not turned on now.
A: Impressive. Could you do me a favour?
C: Sure, what do you need?
A: Do you know how to send a fax internationally?
C: Yes, I fax documents from time to time back home to
my family.
A: Do you think you could help me fax this to France?
C: Sure. It's pretty easy actually. You'll have to take out the staple
first, though.
A: I'll do that now.
Do you have any of those forms that we can use as a cover page?
C: Those are in the filing cabinet by the receptionist's desk.
A: Do I have to ask the receptionist to get it for me
or can I get one from the cabinet myself?
C: Just go and get one, fill it in,
attach it to your document with a paper clip,
and then put it in the in-tray on the receptionist's desk.
She'll do the rest of it for you.
A: Really? Is that easy?
C: Sure, haven't you read the notke board lately?
They just put up the procedures for sending taxes a few days ago.
A: Oh, I guess they must be worried about one of us wrecking
the fax machine.
C: Actually, I think they want to keep an eye on who
we are faxing things to.
A: Will they send a personal fax for me?
C: Sure, you just need to pay a small fee.
