Ah ! The beauty of Japanese poetry !
Zen Haiku for Computer Users
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 17 syllables; 5 syllables in the first line, 7 in the second line, 5 in the third line. They are used to communicate a timeless message, often achieving a wistful, yearning and powerful insight through extreme brevity. 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 Must now be retyped. * Serious error. All shortcuts have disappeared. Screen. Mind. Both are blank.... ------------------- |
