In Japan, they have replaced the impersonal and unhelpful

Microsoft error messages with Haiku poetry messages. Haiku

poetry has strict construction rules - each poem has only 17

syllables; 5 syllables in the first, 7 in the second, 5 in

the third. They are used to communicate a timeless message,

often achieving a wistful, yearning and powerful insight

through extreme brevity. Here are some actual error messages

from Japan. Aren't these better than "your computer has

performed an illegal operation?"

---------

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.

-----------
