Thankfully, you are an excellent typist. You'll never make those mistakes again, after having to earn enough aBucks to buy a second computer. ...And a third... And a fourth...

Done and done! You toggle back over to your desktop and look at your fully loaded computer. Isn't it magnificent?

Don't be absurd! You don't have any programs running. Everyone knows you can only run programs on the left side of the screen when you have an odd number of programs running, and you can only run programs on the right side when you have an even number!
The operating system counts as a program, but you can't close it without shutting the entire computer down. You've often done this just to have the satisfaction of getting rid of the darn thing, even if it did mean losing your progress.

Though you really have no idea how this came about. No one can figure how the Acwin user interface survived the first rounds of testing, let alone become the market dominating product. It really is inane trying to control this thing.

Hahah, no. These things are like glass cannons. Fragile as heck. But much less useful than a cannon. It's a pity you're working class, or you might be able to afford something decent. You did manage to snag a few Q-Rocks today at work, so you should really cash those in later.

...Email?
You... you're not exactly sure what an email is.

Sure, I guess it's worth a-

Well.

Nope.
Just more Acwin bull.
You're not exactly sure what you were expecting anyway.

Go to the internet after that^

Oh look, feliformOmega's online. You could chat with her, if you wanted.

You open up Notepad, because OS + AA + AS = 3 which is odd which lets you use things on the LEFT side of the screen.

(( Edit: Okay, sorry, there should be a notepad icon in the taskbar in the image above, but I ran out of time to draw more pages tonight. That's not an important puzzle element. ))

Close the appstore. It's taking up whatever number you have at the bottom corner.

You do this, but your RAM COUNT promptly drops into the negative, and your computer locks up completely.

Restart?
Or just shut it off and stay off.

Internet. Now.

Internet. Now.

You can't! The icons on the left can only be used when you have an odd number of programs, and the icons on the right only when even! Internet is on the right, and you have ONE program running now, the OS, so you can't open it.

[PersonPerson]

Bluh bluh, icons, bluh! Run another program. Or move the icon over to the other side.

[GiovanH]

move the icon

Move... an icon?
=?
You're quite sure computers have never worked like that, and never will.
