亞歷克斯:我可以幫你嗎?
雪莉:是的,這學期我需要買一臺電腦,人家告訴我這裡的電腦比較便宜。
亞歷克斯:的確,你聽到的是對的。在這買新電腦你可以拿到很不錯的價格,我們給學生很大的折扣。
雪莉:我對電腦瞭解不多,但是我知道我要一臺有很大記憶體的桌上電腦,而且我還要一臺印表機。
亞歷克斯:好的,我們先考慮你要的電腦。我極力推薦這兒的一套系統-麥金塔 G3。它的總記憶體為六十四百萬位元。
雪莉:那很多嗎?六十四?
亞歷克斯:是的,對任何學生的需求應該是足夠了。你是什麼系的?
雪莉:歷史系。
亞歷克斯:好的,所以你會常用文書處理來寫報告。我推薦 Corel Word Perfect 程式來做文書處理。我們待會再來談軟體,先談硬體吧。
我們現在有特價, 我應該告訴你,因為只持續到星期二為止。如果你購買這套有麥金塔 G3 的 15 寸彩色主機, 事實上就可以有平常售價的七折。 雪莉:七折?
亞歷克斯:是的。
雪莉:哇,太好了。你覺得對一個研究生而言,這是一個很好的系統嗎?
亞歷克斯:是的,它是很棒的系統。
雪莉:嗯。嘿,等等,這上面有個蘋果記號,這是蘋果電腦嗎?
亞歷克斯:是的,是麥金塔,也是蘋果機。麥金塔和蘋果機是一樣的。
雪莉:我不想要麥金塔,我要個人電腦。
亞歷克斯:很抱歉,但是大學的電腦中心只賣麥金塔裝置。
雪莉:什麼?說真的嗎?
亞歷克斯:是的。
雪莉:可是沒有人用麥金塔。
亞歷克斯:不會啊,這所大學大部分的學生和教授都用麥金塔。他們發現這套系統對寫作和文書處理比較好,而且大多數學生都在使用它。我可以問你從哪來的呢?
雪莉:我是臺灣來的。
亞歷克斯:我知道蘋果電腦在亞洲大多數的國家並不是很流行。但在美國這裡,尤其是大學和出版社裡,使用蘋果電腦是非常普遍的。
雪莉:但是我需要一臺可以處理中文寫作的電腦。 亞歷克斯:有一些中文的寫作程式可以在麥金塔上使用,對蘋果電腦而言,中文不是問題。 雪莉嗯……我想在做決定前請教我一些朋友的建議。很抱歉。
亞歷克斯:不會,不需要抱歉。問你朋友是合理的,但是相信我,這所大學大多數的學生─-包括亞洲的學生,大部分都使用蘋果電腦。
雪莉:好的,謝謝你的建議,我可能之後會再回來。
亞歷克斯:非常歡迎。這是我的名片,如果你需要任何幫忙的話
