I'm A Stranger Here Myself (2006) - Plot & Excerpts
I am not good at shopping or parting with large sums of money at the best of times, and the prospect of trailing around a succession of shops listening to sales assistants touting the wonders of various office products filled me with foreboding. So imagine my delight when in the first computer store I went to I found a machine that had everything built into it— fax, answering machine, electronic address book, Internet capability, you name it. Advertised as “The Complete Home Office Solution,” this computer promised to do everything but make the coffee. So I took it home and set it up, flexed my fingers, and wrote a perky fax to a friend in London. I typed his fax number in the appropriate box as directed and pushed “Send.” Almost at once, noises of international dialing came out of the computer’s built-in speakers. Then there was a ringing tone, and finally an unfamiliar voice that said: “Allo? Allo?” “Hello?” I said in return, and realized that there was no way I could talk to this person, whoever he was.
