Error Haikus

Ein Geek wie ich findet sowas natürlich zum Brüllen:

 Chaos reigns within.
 Reflect, repent, and reboot.
 Order shall return.

IMAGINE IF INSTEAD OF CRYPTIC TEXT STRINGS,
YOUR COMPUTER PRODUCED ERROR MESSAGES IN HAIKU...

 A file that big?
 It might be very useful.
 But now it is gone.
  - - - - - - - - - - - -
 Yesterday it worked
 Today it is not working
 Windows is like that
  - - - - - - - - - - - -
 Stay the patient course
 Of little worth is your ire
 The network is down
  - - - - - - - - - - - -
 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.
  - - - - - - - - - - - -
 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.
  - - - - - - - - - - - -
 The Web site you seek
 cannot be located but
 endless others exist
  - - - - - - - - - - - -
 You step in the stream,
 but the water has moved on.
 This page is not here.
  - - - - - - - - - - - -
 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.
  - - - - - - - - - - - -
 A crash reduces
 your expensive computer
 to a simple stone.
  - - - - - - - - - - - -
 Error messages
 cannot completely convey.
 We now know shared loss.
