Got this by email--along with a note that, supposedly, haikus are replacing error messages in Japan--and I pass it on for the enjoyment of all those sajhabasi with a meditative turn of mind. Are they "real" haiku error messages from Japan? Hmmm ... Methinks only HahooGuru knows for sure, although it does seem curious that they'd be in English ... nevertheless, they're certainly better than "Your Computer Has Performed An Illegal Operation"!!! Enjoy :-)
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.
--------------------------------------------

HAH are you kidding? Come to my workplace and sit here for a little while ... very very quietly (in that Zen frame of mind) ... and in time you will hear the plaintive wail, from over yon cubicle wall, that naturalists sometimes refer to as the Call of The Com-Kaam (Computer Kaamer):
NO I DIDN'T!!!
It was NOOOOOOT ILLEGAL!!!
THE HELL IT IS!!!

But don't you like my nice alliterative phrase, the Call of the Com-Kaam? I think it has a real ring. Here's my own haiku:
Call of the Com-Kaam
Crying in the cubicle
Kick that computer!
OK, true, the others are better.
