On a train, you overhear a woman phoning her office. Why has she phoned?

Woman:  Jenny, hi, it’s me. I’m on the train and it’s stuck somewhere just outside the station -- signalling problems or something ...Yes, I know, sorry, but there’s nothing I can do about it. Anyway, listen, could you check my diary and see when I’m supposed to be with those marketing people ... it’s on my desk  ...... Oh, isn’t it? Oh, that’s strange. And it’s not in the drawer? I wonder ... Oh, I know, I must have left it in Jimmie’s office after yesterday’s meeting. You couldn’t get it and then ring me back, could you? Sorry to be a nuisance.

Woman:  if, like me, you’re about to set off for Australia and you haven’t yet bought a guide book, how about trying a CD ROM instead? Be careful though, the majority of interactive CDs turn out to be a let down. Many publishers convert printed material to digital format, add a few flashy linkages, and expect the buying public to be impressed. I wasn’t. In this context, Wilson’s multimedia package is a refreshing contrast. It’s got all the information, readily accessed from a single-page pictorial index covering states, cities, wildlife, famous people, etc., and the data is accompanied by good still pictures and 92 video clips.
