  3. AMALIA Te voy a traer algún programa de computadora. TÚ

If you're looking to put the sentences in the negative, remember that in Spanish we often use double negatives. Here's one example:

Mi hermano no prepara nada de comer.

And to complete the answer, you didn't conjugate the third one, Thus, "no te voy a traer..." the rest of the sentence looks good, though.

Yikes, how did I miss that. My excuse, I went to two different 2 hour practices, one of which when 2 hours long, and then dinner for a couple hours with a cubana. I think I sprained my brain. - rogspax, Feb 25, 2013

AMALIA Las dependientas venden algunas blusas. TÚ Las dependientas no venden ninguna blusas.

Another thing different in Spanish, besides the appropriateness of double negatives, is that the negative form always takes the singular.

Thus, you can not say;

venden ninguna blusas.

but rather, one must say

venden ninguna blusa.
