All right then, let's check in with
Winslow again, this time training a new employee. Let's have a look.
MUSIC: A QUICK, BOUNCY INTRO.
Oh, yes, all diskettes, whether back-up
or original, must be labeled with these two pieces of information.
Otherwise, you'll end up looking for a needle in a haystack.
All right. Sally, for
your first complete keyring, what two pieces of information was
Winslow talking about?
Labeling diskettes with disk
content and...um...
Hurry.
Um...disk creation date.
BELL SOUNDS AND AUDIENCE APPLAUDS
Yes, that's 5 bonus
points! Well done!

A TAKE-OFF OF LARRY KING LIVE. Lenny Kling is speaking with guest,
Dawn Meadows, who is extolling the benefits of the “Parts Link”
system. The segment here occurs in the middle of the film. Lenny is
speaking to Ron on live video, an appliance parts guy in his office,
who we have met previously. He is on a screen behind Lenny.
AUDIO:
Then what?
(Talking to camera and
demonstrating to show how easy it is.) After the call is
completed, or anytime after that, I simply enter the amount, the part
used, and the time spent on the service call. After that I can even
create the NARDA form.
Thanks Ron.
Whoa, Whoa, Wait a minute, about
my customers...
That's okay, Ron..
...I can send them a complete...
Ron...
...order form. It's really
fantas...
RON...!
...tic. All the information right
on the form.....
We'll come back to Ron in
a couple of minutes. Apparently he still has a lot to say.
AUDIO on Ron's screen FADES TO SILENCE.
Though we still see Ron talking before his screen is wiped away.
Dawn, even I have to
admit I'm starting to be impressed. Is “Parts Link” making an
impact?
The people that I've talked to
don't know how they've gotten by without it, I mean some folks are a
little wary at first about computerizing their business,
We'll ask Gladys about
that..
Gladys?
I was a little nervous at
first, but what I've found is it made my life a whole lot
easier...I'm better at my job. (Pointedly directed at Harry)
I can even take a real lunch break now.
(Turns and walks to her.)
Now she can leave work an hour early and go home and fix dinner.
(She elbows him.) Ow!
