[Jokes4u] Haiku

To reduce computer rage perhaps those cryptic error messages would be 
better replaced by some of the following haiku:

A file that big?
It might be very useful.
But now it is gone.

The Web site you seek
Cannot be located
But endless others exist.

Chaos reigns within.
Reflect, repent and reboot.
Order shall return.

Aborted effort:
Close all that you have.
You ask way too much.

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.

Windows NT has crashed.
I am the Blue Screen of Death.
No one hears your screams.

Stay the patient course.
Of little worth is your ire.
The network is down.

A crash reduces
Your expensive computer
To a simple stone.

Yesterday it worked.
Today it is not working.
Windows is like that.

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.

Rather than a beep
Or a rude error message,
These words: File not found.’

Serious error.
Shortcuts have disappeared.
Screen. Mind. Both are blank.
