Chapter 9 - Cultivation

1: We here at Shiba Electronics shall now proudly pave a new road in the personal computer market
2: by introducing this new graphical user interface OS.
3: It is called "Wintows 95."
4: Eh?! "Wintows 95?!"
5: Doesn't...Microsoft already have a product called that...?
6: I didn't say "Windows."
7: I said "WinTows."

40)
1: Look closely! It's spelled differently, isn't it?
2: I see...so you're aiming for the "Whoops, bought the wrong one!" crowd...
3: Microsoft's catchphrase is...
4: "A computer that can be used by everyone."
5: In order to counter that, our company's new catchphrase will be:
6: "A computer that even an idiot can use."
7: Hoh! And I've been chosen to monitor this new product!
8: What a task!
9: It isn't that difficult of a job.
10: Just try using this computer, then write your thoughts down.
11: Eh? Use it?
12: Me...?
13: Do you understand what I mean by the word "monitor?

41)
1: I don't mean to brag here, but I have never used a computer before!
2: Why would you make me monitor one?
3: Because our catchphrase is "A computer that even an idiot can use"...
4: Yeah, that'd probably piss him off...no matter how idiotic he may be.
5: L-look at it this way...
6: We have great hopes for you, Section Chief...or not, depending on how you look at it...
7: Great hopes?
8: I am honored...
9: Shall we begin, then?
10: Good thing...he's an idiot...
11: First, this tool here is called a "mouse."
12: Mouse? Because it's the Year of the Rat?
13: Not quite...
14: Ahem...it's like the controller you use when playing a video game.
15: A tool like a controller...
16(2b): yes! But there's no directional button.
17: Can it do rapid-fire, then?
18: Uuu...I knew it.

42)
1: Alright, just forget about that for the time being...let's go on to the next step.
2: There's an arrow icon right here, isn't there?! This is called the "cursor."
3: Cur-sur...
4: This is...umm, well...
5: You push buttons when you make a call on the phone, right?
6: The cursor is like the "finger" you would use to do such.
7: Like a finger.
8: Yes, just like a finger.
9: Section Chief.
10: Let me just say one thing.
11: Although it may be "just like a finger,"
12: it doesn't have a nail, got it?
13: Ehh...?
14: R...really!?
