Subject:      Better Living thru Computers
 
 
 Imagine if, instead of cryptic, geeky text strings, your computer 
 produced equally unhelpful error messages in Haiku . . .

 - - - - - - - - - - - -

 A file that big?
 It might be very useful.
 But now it is gone.

 - - - - - - - - - - - -

 The Web site you seek
 cannot be located but
 endless others exist

 - - - - - - - - - - - -

 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.
