wind catches lily
      scatt'ring petals to the wind:
      segmentation fault

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

           No keyboard present
      Hit F1 to continue
      Zengineering?

           To have no errors
      Would be life without meaning
      No struggle, no joy

           You step in the stream,
      but the water has moved on.
      This page is not here.

           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.

           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.

           A crash reduces
      your expensive computer
      to a simple stone.

           There is a chasm
      of carbon and silicon
      the software can't bridge

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

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

           Seeing my great fault
      Through darkening blue windows
      I begin again

           The code was willing,
      It considered your request,
      But the chips were weak.

           Printer not ready.
      Could be a fatal error.
      Have a pen handy?

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

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

           Errors have occurred.
      We won't tell you where or why.
      Lazy programmers.

           Server's poor response
      Not quick enough for browser.
      Timed out, plum blossom.

           Three things are certain:
      Death, taxes, and lost data.
      Guess which has occurred.

           Everything is gone;
      Your life's work has been destroyed.
      Squeeze trigger (yes/no)?

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

           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 Web site you seek
      cannot be located but
      endless others exist

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

           Hal, open the file
      Hal, open the damn file, Hal
      open the, please Hal

           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.
