Fran Posted November 17, 2004 Share Posted November 17, 2004 My neice sent me this today. It needs no explanation. In Japan, they have replaced the impersonal and unhelpful Microsoft 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 reduced 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IC Posted November 17, 2004 Share Posted November 17, 2004 That's nice-you don't see much Haiku in everyday life! One of my English Teachers was obsessed with it and kept repeating one by Basho(sure I've spelled that wrong) The white chrysanthemum Even when lifted to the eye remains immaculate See-repetition does work. I can remember a Japanese poem after 10 years! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
