In Japan, they have replaced the impersonal and
unhelpful Microsoft error messages with Haiku poetry
messages. Here are 15 error messages from Japan that are
the essence of Zen:

Your file was so big.
It might be very 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, 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.

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

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.

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

Having been erased,
The document you're seeking
Must now be retyped.

---------------------------------------------------
Serious error.
All shortcuts have disappeared.
Screen. Mind. Both are blank.
 
Good find...those seem more appropriate that what windows really says... 😀

of course, at the rate at which people get them, there would be a lot of really pissed off people that are even more tempted to put a hole in their crt because of Microsoft if these replaced the actual error messages...
