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 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. 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 around using those Icons. 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?
