Win-doze Haiku

I make no claim to writing these but the writer remained anonymous... enjoy!

-------------------------------------------------
In Japan, they have replaced the impersonal and unhelpful Microsoft
Error messages with Haiku poetry messages.Haiku poetry has strict
construction rules. Each poem has only three lines, 17 syllables:
five syllables in the first line, seven in the second, five in the
third.

Haikus are used to communicate a timeless message often
achieving a wistful, yearning and powerful insight through
extreme brevity - the essence of Zen:

>> > 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.
