In Japan, they have replaced the impersonal and unhelpful
Microsoft Error messages with poetry.
Haiku poetry has strict construction rules.  Each poem has only
three lines, 17 syllables: five syllables in the first  line, seven
in the second, five in the third. Haikus are used to communicate a
timeless message often achieving a wistful, yearning and powerful
insight through extreme brevity -- the essence of Zen.

  Your file was so big.
  It must have been dear to you.
  But now it is gone.
  -----------------------------
  The Website you seek
  Cannot be located, but

  I am the Blue Screen of Death.
  No one hears your screams.

  This thousand-pound screen dies
  So beautifully.

  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.

  Out of memory.
  We wish to hold the whole sky,
  But we never will.
