[J = Juliette; F = Fred; U = Ulrikj

J: Hi. Juliette here, Chief Accountant. Is everyone there?

F: Yep, Fred here, Office Manager in the Manchester office.

U: Ulrik here, also in the Manchester office. I’m the IT Support Officer.

J: OK. Let’s start the meeting. I understand that your Design Department’s computers are very slow and we need to find a solution. We don’t have much money for IT equipment at the moment, I’m afraid. Any suggestions? Fred?

F: What about upgrading to a new version of Windows? A new operating system is much cheaper than buying new computers and should be faster.

J: Good idea. How does that sound, Ulrik?

U: Um ... well... I’m afraid there might be a problem. Unfortunately, the computers just won’t run the new Windows well. They’re just too old.

F: OK. Could we buy more memory then?

U: That wouldn’t work either, unfortunately. We can’t put any more memory in. They're already full. 1 really don’t think that upgrading will work.

J: That’s a pity. We just don’t have enough money to replace all the computers. Do you have any more ideas, Ulrik?

U: How about just replacing four computers for now, and the other four later? I think I can find some good deals. How does that sound, Fred?

F: Yes, um ... I think that will work. I think the designers will be happy.

J: OK, good, that’s decided then. Ulrik, send me an email when you’ve found a good price. Now, let’s move on to the next item on the agenda, which is the cost of the new...
