Thingy 2.0 is already obsolete (just happened 5 minutes ago).
So now, he needs to first upgrade to JunkOS9, then install thingy 2.7.

Yes, however thingy 2.5 and higher requires graphics card XYZ000, and of course that card would require him to get a power supply strong enough to support it.

I bet you didnt make a burnt offering did you? What did you THINK was going to happen?

You must take the manual literally for your thingy to work correctly.

But the setup instructions on the first page differ from those on the second. Which one do I use?

You are putting the cart before the horse. You have to first renounce the Vice of Antidisdispensationalism. Then seek the true path.

There is not contradiction in the instructions.
But of course, to one who isn't a True User wouldn't understand that.

Now that you mention it, the "system requirements" listed on the box do specify the need for burnt offerings. The salesman even insisted that it was a "killer app", but I didn't know he meant I'd have to kill something for the app to work.

There's your answer. you need to burn the salesman.

The burnt offerings either have to be an animal's, or of someone directly related to you. It'll work more efficiently if it's your son.

The thingy likes the aroma of burning flesh.

If that doesn't work, just shout at it until it does.

Also, you should make sure you've got the right thingy. It has to fit in the PCI2 slot perfectly, down to the nearerst millionth of a millimeter. Unfortunately, with the latest models, the size isn't printed on the box, so the only way to accurately measure it is to use the width of your hand and a bit of string.

Blessed root, may his quotas never be exceeded, will guide you to the one true POSIX socket of enlightenment. To earn his holy permissions you must first walk through the fires of dependency hell. Kneel not before the cathedral of the gates, but wander the bazaar of the water buffalo and you too shall banish the daemons from your racks.

Are you sure you're all talking about the right thingy?
Shouldn't you define what you mean by your thingy, in case everyone else ha a different perception of it?

Point goes to tansy!
Next point?
Ready .................serve!

(and, as a thingy 2.7 and JunkOS9VET, I'm still not convinced of your nondispensationalOS POV)

Thingy 2.7 did it, case closed.

The Thingy won't work until you believe it is working.
