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:
>> >
>> > Your file was so big.
>> > It might be very useful.
>> > But now it is gone.
>> > -------------------------------------------
>> > The Web site you seek
>> > Cannot be located,

Aren't these better than "your computer has performed an illegal operation"? |

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.
