Meaning of "in computers" #1 (permalink) Wed Aug 02, 2006 11:57 am   Meaning of "in computers"
 

Please read:

A: Do you want to share a taxi?
B: Oh sure.
A: Are you here on vacation?
B: No, business. I'm in computers.
A: Oh, me too. I work for ABM.
B: Really. I work for Apple.

What is the meaning of "in computers" and "really".

Thanks

Hi Khahn

"I work in computers" means "I work for a company that is in the computer industry" (in this case Apple).

"Really." (without a question mark): In the context I'd understand this to basically mean "I see."
