PART ONE



Conversation One

John, here.I'm calling from the fair.

Things are going pretty well. I thought you'd like an update.OK.Well, you'll be pleased to know that the high resolution monitor looks good on the standard (stand), and we are getting a very warm reception for the latest scanner which is encouraging. The standard's fairly crowded at the most of the time. In terms of actual sales, it's the wireless cable set that is performing best. The new keyboards are ('s) also doing OK. So there's plenty of good news.

I have to say that I'm a bit disappointed with the take account (take-up) for the automatic typing software, as I thought that would sell really well. Perhaps it'll pick up in time. We'll need to give it some thought.

What else? Yes, the E-count (E-cards) is (are) great, that was an inspired idea. Everyone is taking a copy of the brochure, so I am glad we bought the extra boxes. And we are getting through the demonstration disks quickly. Can you get more sent down this afternoon?

I think that's everything. Bye.
