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?
