C:      What kind of computer have you got?

J:              I've got an Apple laptop.

C:      How long have you had it?

J:              I've only had it for a couple of months now but I'm
very happy with it. I've had PC's of one kind or another for about 15
years now and I got fed up with all the hardware and software problems
and viruses, so I decided to change to Apple.

C:      What's the difference?

J:              It has a different operating system, it's easier to
use, and it doesn't keep crashing. Also people don't create so many
viruses for it.

C:      Maybe, but it's not compatible with PC's, is it? And you can't
surf the internet with it, can you?

J:              Don't be silly. Of course you can. And it has all the
usual things that most people use, like email, word-processor,
spreadsheet, and database applications and they're completely
compatible. I mean, if I send you an email with an attachment, you'll
be able to read it and open the document without any problem. Or the
other way round.
