If Bud Abbott and Lou Costello were alive today, their infamous sketch, "Who's on First?"  might have gone something like this:

COSTELLO CALLS 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?
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 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?

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!

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"
