Some of these are priceless:
----------------------------------------------
In Japan, the Microsoft error messages have been replaced with Haiku
poetry messages. Haiku poetry has strict construction rules. Each poem
has only three lines, 17 syllables: Five syllables in the first line,
seven in the second, five in the third. Haiku is used to communicate a
timeless message, often achieving a wistful, yearning and powerful
insight through extreme brevity - the essence of Zen:
Your file was so big.
It might be very useful.
But now it is gone.
----------------------------------
The Website you seek
Cannot be located, but
Countless more exist.
----------------------------------
Chaos reigns within.
Reflect, repent, and reboot.
Order shall return.
----------------------------------
Program aborting:
Close all that you have worked on.
You ask far too much.
----------------------------------
Windows NT crashed.
I am the Blue Screen of Death.
No one hears your screams.
----------------------------------
Yesterday it worked.
Today it is not working.
Windows is like that.
----------------------------------
First snow, then silence.
This thousand-dollar screen dies
So beautifully.
----------------------------------
With searching comes loss
And the presence of absence:
"My Novel" not found.
----------------------------------
The Tao that is seen
Is not the true Tao-until
You bring fresh toner.
----------------------------------
Stay the patient course.
Of little worth is your ire.
The network is down.
----------------------------------
A crash reduces
Your expensive computer
To a simple stone.
----------------------------------
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.
----------------------------------
Serious error.
All shortcuts have disappeared.
Screen. Mind. Both are blank.
----------------------------------
