Haiku Error Messages……
In Japan, they have replaced the impersonal and unhelpful Microsoft error messages with Haiku poetry messages. They’re used to communicate a timeless message, often achieving a wistful, yearning and powerful insight through extreme brevity. Here are 16 actual error messages from Japan:
~ 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.
