Error messages
Here are some error messages from Japan which sound much better than the 'Illegal Operation' warnings that Microsoft Windows gives us here...thought you'd enjoy these.
- Laurie-Ann Copple
The Web site you seek
cannot be located, but
countless more exist.
--------------------------------------------
Chaos reigns within.
Reflect, repent, and reboot.
Order shall return.
---------------------------------------------
Program aborting:
Close all that you have worked on.
You ask far too much.
---------------------------------------------
Windows NT crashed.
I am the Blue Screen of Death.
No one hears your screams.
---------------------------------------------
Yesterday it worked.
Today it is not working.
Windows is like that.
---------------------------------------------
Your file was so big.
It might be very useful.
But now it is gone.
---------------------------------------------
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.
Screen. Mind. Both are blank.
---------------------------------------------
Aren't those better than "your computer has performed an illegal operation?
