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 desktop1 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 interface2. 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 navigate3 around using those icons4. 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?
