Serene Computer Haiku

by Dave Peiser

Just when you thought you were going to throw your computer out the window, along come these calming words, that allow you to take several deep breaths, relax, release the stress, and move on to a better place.

"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 youโ€™re seeking must now be retyped."

 

"Serious error. All shortcuts have disappeared. Screen. Mind. Both are blank."

 

I am not sure of the source of these, but I hope they have improved your day. ๐Ÿ™‚
