Computer Haiku

Haiku for Computer Users

(Note: Haiku is a Japanese form of poetry. Haiku has strict construction rules: Each poem has only 17 syllables; 5 syllables in the first line, 7 in the second line, 5 in the third line. These poems are used to communicate a timeless message, often achieving a wistful, yearning and powerful insight through extreme brevity. These aren't so "wistful or timeless"...they came from the "Car Talk" radio show.)

________________________________

Your file was so big.
It might be very useful.
But now it is gone.

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.

First snow, then silence.
This thousand-dollar screen dies
So beautifully.

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.

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....
 
What would we do without Tom and Ray? Car Talk is definitely my favorite radio program. Even have the wife hooked on it. And Tom has a TD - he needs to be on the Forum!

(Love the "No one hears your screams")

I think he had a TD (past tense) - it might even have been the last car that he owned... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif
