Windows Haiku

[Scott & Lai 12]

Your file was so big.

It might be very useful.

But now it is gone.

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.

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.

Screen. Mind. Both are blank.

O goodness...the nightmare of every college student

This is why I periodically email myself all of my papers to two different email addresses....no lost papers for me!!

That's a good idea. I email stuff to gmail, so that I can access files from anywhere.

Yeah, I send papers to my gmail and to my school email while I'm writing them, just in case something happens. Also, if for some reason I lose my printed copy I can print them at school.

I remember last year when I was working on a HUGE project, I'd email to about 5 different addresses, 3 different people, and then mail a burned copy of it to my parents' house each weekend. Talk about being ####### retentive!

Trust me, it isn't silly! After doing so many papers I would DIE if one of them got lost....better safe than sorry!
