John Siemens: Dave

Quotes 

• Michael : What I think will really help is if I get a word processor.

  Dave : Ah, yes, a venerable instrument.

  Michael : Kind of speed up the 'ol writing. What do you recommend?

  Dave : Well, I know a dealer out in Queens. IBM, with everything... $4,000, includes the printer.

  Michael : No. Less. Less. Mucho less.

  Dave : Wait a few years till the prices come down?

  Michael : I don't wanna wait.

  Dave : You know what I suggest?

  Michael : Yeah?

  Dave : Just write.

  Michael : Hmmm?

  Dave : You know, you get a pen, some paper, put some marks on it. Works real well.

  Michael : [sarcastically]  Thanks, Dave.
