High Tech Haiku

After a day like this, a little high-tech haiku seems to be in order:

Imagine if, instead of using incomprehensible geeky text strings,

your computer produced error messages in Haiku ...

*****

First snow, then silence.
This thousand dollar screen dies
so beautifully.

***

A file that big?
It might be very useful.
But now it is gone.

***

The Web site you seek
just 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 to much.

***

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.

***

Stay the patient course.
Of little worth is all your ire
The network is down.

***

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.

***

The document you are seeking
Must now be retyped.
Rather than a beep
Or a rude message,
These words "File not found."

***

Serious error.
All shortcuts have disappeared.
Screen. Mind. Both are blank.
