Hi Angliholic,

From the context you provided, the computer is available to you, but you cannot start running any programs until you get pass the authentication stage (i.e., telling the computer that you have the right to use it).

If you use run/use/operate, you could potentially send a wrong message that you don't know anything about 'computer', or how to make it work for you.
