Haiku error messages

I once read that in the Japanese version of Windows, the nasty impersonal error messages had been replaced by nice calming haiku poetry. Ok, so it wasn't true, but I think it's a great idea nonetheless, lol. Here are a few examples I found...

A crash reduces
Your expensive computer
To a simple stone.

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.

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

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

If that had been the case, I wouldn't have sworn and broken things, but contemplated life...
