　　　 "We give the computer the information about your trip, and then it tells us whether you can fly with us or not."

　　　 "How lorig will the computer be down?" I wanted to know.

　　　 "I have no idea. Sometimes it,s down for 10 minutes, sometimes for two hours. There's no way we can find odt without asking the computer, and since it's down it won't answer, us.”

　　　 After the girl told me they had no backup (備用) computer, I said. "Let's forget the computer. What about your planes? They're still flying, aren't they?"

　　　 I wouldn't know,” she said, pointino at the dark screen. "Only 'IT' knows. 'It' can't tell me."
