JUST REMAIN CALM....

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 17 syllables; 5 syllables in the first, 7 in the second, 5 in the third. They are used to communicate a timeless message, often achieving a wistful, yearning and powerful insight through extreme brevity. Here are 15 actual error messages from Japan that are the essence of Zen:

>> >

>> > It might be very useful.
>> > But now it is gone.
>> > -------------------------------------------

>> > Cannot be located,

Ha! Good stuff. I suppose I should come up with one of my own:

Microsoft hates you.
Windows and Bill Gates hate you.
Should have bought a Mac.
