In Japan, they have replaced the impersonal and unhelpful Microsoft 
 error messages with Haiku poetry messages. Haiku poetry has strict 
 construction rules. Each poem has only three lines, 17 syllables: five 
 syllables in the first line, seven in the second, five in the third. 
 Haikus are used to communicate a timeless message, often achieving a 
 wistful, yearning and powerful insight through extreme brevity - the 
 essence of Zen.

 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.

 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.
 
 ---------------------------------------------------
 
 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

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