1. You wake up at 3 am to go to the bathroom and stop to check your e-mail
on the way back to bed.
2. You name your children Eudora, AOL and dotcom.
3. You turn off your modem and get this awful empty feeling, as if you just
pulled the plug on a loved one.
4. You spend half of the plane trip with your laptop on your lap...and your
child in the overhead compartment.
5. You decide to stay in college for an additional year or two, just for
the free internet access.
6. You laugh at people with 14.4-baud modems.
7. You start using smileys in your snail mail.
8. You find yourself typing "com" after every period when using a word
processor.com
9. You can't call your mother...she doesn't have a modem.
10. You check your mail. It says "no new messages." So you check it again.
11. You don't know what gender three of your closest friends are, because
they have neutral screennames and you never bothered to ask.
12. You move into a new house and decide to Netscape before you Landscape.
13. You tell the cab driver you live at
http://1000.edison.garden/house/brick.html
14. You start tilting your head sideways to smile.
15. After reading this message, you immediately e-mail it to a friend!!
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:
Your file was so big.
It might be very useful.
But now it is gone.
-------------------------------------------
The Website 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.

Serious error.

Screen. Mind. Both are blank.
