In Japan, Sony Vaio machines have replaced the
impersonal and unhelpful Microsoft error messages with
their own Japanese haiku poetry.

----------------------------------
Stay the patient course.
Of little worth is your ire.
The network is down

The Web site you seek
Can not be located.
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.

First snow, then silence.
This thousand dollar screen dies
So beautifully.

With searching comes loss
And the presence of absence:

The Tao that is seen
Is not the true Tao, until
You bring fresh toner.

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.

Serious error.
All shortcuts have disappeared.
Screen. Mind. Both are blank.
----------------------------------
