' 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 crash'd.
' I am the Blue Screen of Death.
' No-one hears your screams.

' Yesterday it work'd.
' Today it is not working.
' Windows is like that.
'

' 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
