Sony Pc Haiku's (humor) Clinotus Feb/07/2001 8:29 PM
  • Sony has announced its own computer operating system now available on its hot new portable PC called the Vaio. Instead of producing the cryptic error messages characteristic of Microsoft's Windows 95, 3.1, and DOS operating systems, Sony's chairman Asai Tawara said:

    "We intend to capture the high ground by putting a Japanese face on what has been - until now - an operating system that reflects Western cultural hegemony. For example, we have replaced the impersonal and unhelpful Microsoft error messages with our own Japanese Haiku poetry." The chairman went on to give examples of Sony's new error messages:

    • 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.
 
No loss of job Ark.
Simple realization
of my inner self.

I care not about
