Haiku Version of Windows
In Japan, they have replaced the impersonal Microsoft error messages with
Haiku poetry messages. Haiku poetry has strict construction rules - each
poem has only 17 syllables; 5 syllables in the first line, 7 in the
second,
5 in the third. They are used to communicate a timeless message, often
achieving a wistful, yearning and powerful insight through extreme
brevity.
Here are 16 actual error messages from Japan. Aren't
these better than "Your computer has performed an illegal operation"?

Your file was so big.
It might be very useful.
But now it is gone.

The Web site you seek
Cannot be located, but
Countless more exist.

Reflect, repent, and reboot.
Order shall return.

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.

All shortcuts have disappeared.
Life is frustrating.
