W: Morning. Can I help you?

M: Well, I'm not really sure. I'm just looking.

W: I see. Well, there's plenty to look at again this year. I'm sure you'd have to walk miles to see each stand.

M: That's true.

W: Would you like a coffee? Come and sit down for a minute. No obligation.

M: Well, that's very kind of you. But...

W: No, please, is this the first year you've been to the fair, Mr. ...?

M: Yes. Johnson. James Johnson.

W: My name's Susan Carter. Are you looking for anything in particular or are you just interested in computers in general?

M: Well, actually, I have some specific jobs in mind. I own a small company. We've grown quite dramatically over the past 12 months and we really need some technological help to enable us to keep on top of everything.

W: What's your line of business, Mr. Johnson?

M: We are a training consultancy.

W: I see. And what do you need to keep on top?

M: The first thing is correspondence. We have a lot of standard letters and forms. So I suppose we need some kind of word processor.

W: Right. Well, that's no problem. But it may be possible for you to get a system that does a lot of other things in addition to word processing. What might suit you is the MR5000. That's over there. It's IBM compatible.

M: What about the price?

W: Well, the MR5000 costs 1,050 pounds. Software comes free with the hardware.

M: Well, I'll think about it. Thank you.

W: Here's my card. Please feel free to contact me.
