#Laughs ABBOTT AND COSTELLO MEETS WINDOWS95 Costello: Hey, Abbott! Abbot: Yes, Lou? Costello: I just got my first computer.

Abbot: That's great Lou.

What did you get? Costello: A Pentium II-266, with 40 Megs of RAM, a 2.1 Gig hard drive, and a 24X CD-ROM.

Abbot: That's terrific, Lou.

Costello: But I don't know what any of it means!! Abbot: You will in time.

Costello: That's exactly why I am here to see you.

Abbot: Oh? Costello: I heard that you are a real computer expert.

Abbot: Well, I don't know- Costello: Yes-sir-ee.

You know your stuff.

And you're going to train me.

Abbot: Really? Costello: Uh huh.

And I am here for my first lesson.

Abbot: O.K.

Lou.

What do you want to know? Costello: I am having no problem turning it on, but I heard that you should be very careful how you turn it off.

Abbot: That's true.

Costello: So, here I am working on my new computer and I want to turn it off.

What do I do? Abbot: Well, first you press the Start button, and then- Costello: No, I told you, I want to turn it off.

Abbot: I know, you press the Start button- Costello: Wait a second.

I want to turn it off.

Off.

I know how to start it.

So tell me what to do.

Abbot: I did.

Costello: When? Abbot: When I told you to press the Start button.

Costello: Why should I press the Start button? Abbot: To shut off the computer.

Costello: I press Start to stop.

Abbot: Well Start doesn't actually stop the computer.

Costello: I knew it! So what do I press.

Abbot: Start Costello: Start what? Abbot: Start button.

Costello: Start button to do what? Abbot: Shut down.

Costello: You don't have to get rude! Abbot: No, no, no! That's not what I meant.

Costello: Then say what you mean.

Abbot: To shut down the computer, press- Costello: Don't say, "Start!" Abbot: Then what do you want me to say? Costello: Look, if I want to turn off the computer, I am willing to press the Stop button, the End button and Cease and Desist button, but no one in their right mind presses the Start to Stop.

Abbot: But that's what you do.

Costello: And you probably Go at Stop signs, and Stop at green lights.

Abbot: Don't be ridiculous.

Costello: I am being ridiculous? Well.

I think it's about time we started this conversation.

Abbot: What are you talking about? Costello: I am starting this conversation right now.

Good-bye.
