Imagine tech workers in a cowboy western movie, such as, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, or any of the Clint Eastwood westerns. 🙂
Oh yeah, well let’s settle this with a duel! Just let me get my e-gun!
Sorry, I just need to boot
Sorry, my gun app is not working. Just let me reinstall it
Sorry, I just need to download the gun app again
Sorry, the download is compressed in yet another new format.
Just let me download and install another piece of software that will unzip that format.
Sorry, this gun app version just wants the latest java version installed first
Sorry, just let me figure out which java version is the correct one to download. The docs just didn’t say.
Sorry, I just did everything that it said to do in the useless docs. But java is just not working. Just let me trouble shoot.
Sorry, there just is no documented solution for this useless error message
Sorry, perhaps I just need to figure out the java path
Sorry, now I should just be able to just install the gun app
Sorry, I think I just need to figure out the paths in the global settings for this gun app
Sorry, the gun app just wants me to register
Sorry, the app just wants to send me a text on my cell phone
Sorry, I just need to configure the gun app
Sorry, the gun app just needs even more permissions
Sorry, I just need to reboot again
Sorry, I think it just needs some drivers installed. Just let me figure out which are the correct drivers to download.
Sorry, just let me install these drivers. Maybe these ones will work.
Sorry, just let me figure out how to create the connectivity
Sorry, the script they supplied is not working, Just let me debug the script. It’s not documented.
Sorry, I think just needs another undocumented library
Sorry, just me figure out how to configure and use this library. It’s logic and syntax is weird.
Sorry, I just need to figure out how to load the data
Sorry, I just need to load the data
Sorry, this data load is just not working. Just let me fix it.
Sorry, they just changed the interface and navigation in this version
Sorry, it’s just got an advertisement for me. Just let me get rid of it. But there it is again
Sorry, just let me figure out how to pull the trigger
Sorry, just let me email tech support
Sorry, the tech support email just robo emailed me back, telling me to post on their community website instead
Sorry, I just got to register on the community website
Sorry, I just have to respond to the email the community website
Sorry, I’m just not allowed to ask any questions if I’ve only just registered
Sorry, I’m just getting trolls, speculators, and snobs on the website. No one is giving me a simple answer
Sorry, just let me do a whole bunch of trial and error, and figure it out myself.
Ok, I’m really sorry about all that. Ready?
Uh sorry, the gun app is auto updating already, even though I just downloaded and installed it
….
Rinse and Repeat.
….
Don’t you just miss analog,
When everything just worked
First time, Every time?
