Haiku error msgs for Windows - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

In Japan, they have replaced the impersonal and unhelpful Micro$not error messages with Haiku poetry messages. They're used to communicate a timeless message, 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 XP 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, 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.

	__________________ The people who think they know everything about Broadway make me laugh. They've never seen a Broadway play in their life. "oh mi godddd RENT's a mooovie! lyke 525600 minuuuuuuutes!" No. To be a Broadway Freak, you must live, eat, sleep, study, devout, think, obsess, dream, believe Broadway. You must know original & revival casts, soundtracks, performance runs, dates, theatres, numbers, how many Tony Awards A Chorus Line won. You must be Broadway. That's right bitches. I AM Broadway.
