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

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

 The Web site you seek
 Can not be located but
 Countless more exist
 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
 Chaos reigns within.
 Reflect, repent, and reboot.
 Order shall return.

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

 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.

 Having been erased,
 The document you're seeking
 Must now be retyped.

 Serious error.
 All shortcuts have disappeared.
