Learning a New Operating System


Vanessa: [gasps] What happened to my computer overnight? This can’t be my computer. 


Reza: It is. The tech guys installed a new operating system on all of the computers after hours. 


Vanessa: But my desktop 1 looks completely different. Where is the menu bar? I don’t know how to open any of my applications. 


Reza: You’ll have to get used to a completely different user interface 2. It’s been completely revamped. 


Vanessa: But I had the old operating system customized with special settings. 


Reza: Well, those settings are gone. You’ll have to start over. 


Vanessa: I don’t even know where to begin. 


Reza: With this new operating system, you’re supposed to navigate 3 around using those icons 4. They’re supposed to make multitasking easier by allowing you to minimize and maximize applications more quickly. 


Vanessa: How can that be when I don’t know what any of the icons represent? 


Reza: Search me. Here’s one of the tech guys now. You can ask him all your questions. 


Vanessa: I only have one. 


Reza: Only one? 


Vanessa: Yes. Can he restore my old operating system?
