      MSGID: 2:5023/24.4222 656b53c9       CHRS: CP866 2       TZUTC: 0400       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                     WBR, Gleb |
