In Japan, they have
apparently replaced the impersonal and unhelpful Microsoft error messages with
Haiku poetry. With their strict construction rules (each poem has only 17
syllables: 5 syllables in the first, 7 in the second, 5 in the third), Haikus
are used to communicate timeless messages, often achieving a wistful yearning
and powerful insight through extreme brevity.
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.
Your file was so big. It
might be very useful. But now it is gone.
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.
Serious error. All
shortcuts have disappeared. Screen. Mind. Both are blank.
