Rock had accidentally clicked on a Safari icon on the row of browser options at the bottom of his laptop screen, and there were now three boxes labeled Safari on his screen, each nearly two square inches in size. He almost always relied on Chrome as his browser, and he needed it to search for information he had agreed to deliver to several acquaintances, but now the function of his screen was limited by the three large boxes he couldn't seem to do anything with.
Matt, a neighbor from a block away who still worked full-time at the paper, came by to help. Rock showed him how he had tried to move the boxes back into the icon that had at some point shifted to the top of the screen. He could move them to it, but the icon rejected them each time.
"They're too big," Matt said.
"I thought that, too, but I haven't been able to shrink them down," Rock said.
"Have you tried this?" Matt said as he reached to touch the screen with his right index finger. Rock watched as he shrunk the boxes with his fingertip.
"Wow," he said. "I didn't know you could do that with this computer."
Although Rock was pleased to learn of that function, it failed to help. Matt still couldn't get the icon to accept the Safari boxes.
