IMAGINE
IF INSTEAD OF CRYPTIC, GEEKY TEXT STRINGS, YOUR COMPUTER
PRODUCED ERROR
MESSAGES IN HAIKU...
A file that big?
It might be
very useful.
But now it is
gone.
------------
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.
