Hello List ,
In Japan, they have replaced the impersonal and unhelpful Microsoft
error messages with Haiku poetry messages.
Haiku is used to communicate a timeless message often achieving a wistful,
yearning and powerful insight through extreme brevity -- the essence of Zen:
-------------------------------------------------------------------
With searching comes loss
And the presence of absence:
"My Investents" not found.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Having been erased,
The document you're seeking
Must now be retyped.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Your file was so big.
It might be very useful.
But now it is gone.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
You step in the stream,
But the water has moved on.
This page is not here.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
The Website 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.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Three things are certain:
Death, taxes and lost data.
Guess which has occurred.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Out of memory.
We wish to hold the whole sky,
But we never will.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Yesterday it worked.
Today it is not working.
Windows is like that.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
First snow, then silence.
This thousand-dollar screen dies
So beautifully!
-------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Serious error.
All shortcuts have disappeared.
Screen. Mind. Both are blank
