The Tao of Computing - Now in Haiku form!!

[blakeatwork]

Your file was too big
It might have been so useful
But now it is gone

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

First snow, the 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

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.
