If Bud Abbott and Lou Costello were alive today, their infamous sketch, 'Who's on First?' might have turned out something like this:
 
COSTELLO C ALLS TO BUY A COMPUTER FROM ABBOTT                 
 
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?
 
C OSTELLO : 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 : Yes.
 
COSTELLO : OK, what did you recommend for my office?
 
ABBOTT : Office.
 
COSTELLO : Yes, for my office!
 
ABBOTT : I recommend Office with Windows.
 
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?

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!
 
(A few days later)
 
ABBOTT : Super Duper computer store. Can I help you?
 
COSTELLO : How do I turn my computer off?
 
ABBOTT : Click on 'START'.............
