  Darlene: Thanks for agreeing to take a look at my computer. It’s been acting 1 up lately.

Chris: Sure, I don’t mind. Is this it?

Darlene: Yeah.

Chris: How long have you had this computer? It looks like it belongs in the ice age.

Darlene: I admit it’s a little dated. I must be one of the last holdouts in switching to a newer model.

Chris: What are you waiting for? It seems to me that all of your computer problems would be solved if you spring for a new one.

Darlene: I have a lot of old programs on this computer that aren’t compatible with the newer models. I’m kind of attached to them.

Chris: They probably aren’t compatible because there are now better, more efficient programs that have overtaken the ones you currently use. Your programs are probably obsolete 2. Which programs are they? Maybe I can show you how to use the newer versions.

Darlene: Well, there’s one particular program...

Chris: Yes?

Darlene: It’s a game I like to play.

Chris: You’re refusing to buy a newer, better computer just because you’d have to give up a game?

Darlene: It’s a really fun game and I’m keeping this computer until they make a version for the newer computers.

Chris: Okay, but you know what they say: live by the sword, die by the sword.

Darlene: So you won’t help me fix my computer?

Chris: I’ll try, but I’m telling you now. It’s a lost cause.
