IMAGINE THAT YOUR COMPUTER PRODUCED ERROR MESSAGES IN HAIKU ...

   The code was willing,
   It considered your request,
   But the chips were weak.
   A file that big?
   It might be very useful.
   But now it is gone.
   Login incorrect.
   Only perfect spellers may
   enter this system.
   This site has been moved.
   We'd tell you where, but then we'd
   have to delete you.
   The Tao that is seen
   Is not the true Tao, until
   You bring fresh toner.
   A crash reduces
   your expensive computer
   to a simple stone.
   Yesterday it worked
   Today it is not working
   Windows is like that
   You step in the stream,
   but the water has moved on.
   This page is not here.
   No keyboard present
   Hit F1 to continue
   Zen engineering?
   Having been erased,
   The document you're seeking
   Must now be retyped.
   The ten thousand things
   How long do any persist?
   Netscape, too, has 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.
First snow, then silence.
This thousand dollar screen dies
so beautifully.
With searching comes loss
and the presence of absence:
"My Novel" not found.
Windows NT 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
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.
Rather than a beep
Or a rude error message,
These words: "File not found."
Serious error.
All shortcuts have disappeared.
Screen. Mind. Both are blank.
