Japanese Haiku Computer Messages

I found these while listening to Car Talk one of my favorite radio talk shows.

These are messages that appear on the computer when you have an error message:

(I thought they were very funny)

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 NT 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 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.

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

Serious error.
All shortcuts have disappeared.
Screen. Mind. Both are blank.

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

Now isn't that better than: "Your computer has performed an illegal operation"?
