   Hello All,   
      
      
   Imagine if instead of cryptic, geeky text strings, your   
   computer produced error message in haiku...   
      
      
   A file that big?   
   It might be very useful.   
   But now it is gone.

   The Web site you seek   
   cannot be located but   
   Countless more exist   
      
   - - - - - - - - - - - -   
      
   Chaos reigns within.   
   Reflect, repent, and reboot.   
   Order shall return.   
      
   - - - - - - - - - - - -   
      
   ABORTED effort:   
   Close all that you have.   
   You ask way too much.   
      
   - - - - - - - - - - - -   
      
   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.   
      
   - - - - - - - - - - - -   
      
   Windows NT crashed.   
   I am the Blue Screen of Death.   
   No one hears your screams.   
      
   - - - - - - - - - - - -   
      
   Stay the patient course   
   Of little worth is 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.   
      
   - - - - - - - - - - - -   
      
   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.   
      
   - - - - - - - - - - - -   
      
   No keyboard present   
   Hit F1 to continue   
   Zen engineering?   
      
   - - - - - - - - - - - -   
      
   To have no errors   
   Would be life without meaning   
   No struggle, no joy
