In Japan they are considering replacing the impersonal and unhelpful Microsoft Error messages with Haiku poetry messages. Haiku poetry has strict construction rules. Each poem has only three lines and 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. -------------------------------------------------- Serious error. All shortcuts have disappeared. Screen. Mind. Both are blank. -------------------------------------------------- Your file was so big. It might have been most useful. But now it is gone. -------------------------------------------------- The web site you seek Cannot be located, yet 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. -------------------------------------------------- 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.
