IMAGINE IF INSTEAD OF CRYPTIC, GEEKY TEXT STRINGS, YOUR COMPUTER PRODUCED
ERROR MESSAGES IN HAIKU.................

First snow, then silence.
This thousand dollar screen
Dies so beautifully.
------------------------------------------
Stay the patient course.
Of little worth is your ire;
The network is down.
------------------------------------------
The Web site you seek
Cannot be located
But endless others exist.
------------------------------------------
Chaos reigns within.
Reflect, repent and reboot.
Order shall return.
------------------------------------------
Aborted effort:
Close all that you have.
You ask far too much.
------------------------------------------
With searching comes loss
And the presence of absence;
"My Novel" not found.
------------------------------------------
A file that big?
It might be very useful.
But now it is gone.
------------------------------------------
The Tao that is seen
Is not the true Tao until
You bring fresh toner.
------------------------------------------
Windows NT crashed.
I am the Blue Screen of Death.
No one hears your screams.
------------------------------------------
A crash reduces
Your expensive computer
To a simple stone.
------------------------------------------
Yesterday it worked.
Today it is not working.
Windows is like that.
------------------------------------------
Three things are certain:
Death, taxes and lost data
Guess which has occurred.
------------------------------------------
You step in the stream,
But the water has moved on.
This page is not here.
------------------------------------------
Out of memory.
We wish to hold the whole sky,
But we never will.
------------------------------------------
Having been erased,
The document you're seeking
Must now be retyped.
------------------------------------------
Rather than a beep,
Or a rude error message,
These words: file not found.
------------------------------------------
Serious error. All
Shortcuts have disappeared.
Screen. Mind. Both are blank.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
