Cyber Haiku

Anyone who's spent more than a weekend online knows that there's a humor net cast broader than Bill Gates. The incoming range in quality from gems to jetsam. We thought we'd recycle some writer-relevant entries here. Submissions welcome; compensation intrinsic.
We're assuming there's an author of the following, but your name was lost in transmission. We hope you'll identify yourself

Imagine if instead of cryptic, geeky text strings, your computer produced error messages in haiku...

A file that big?
It might be very useful.
But now it is gone.

- - - - - - - - - - - -

The Web site you seek
cannot be located but
endless others exist.

- - - - - - - - - - - -

Chaos reigns within.
Reflect, repent, and reboot.
Order shall return.

- - - - - - - - - - - -

ABORTED effort:
Close all that you have.
You ask way too much.

- - - - - - - - - - - -

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

- - - - - - - - - - - -

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.

- - - - - - - - - - - -

Windows NT crashed.
I am the Blue Screen of Death.
No one hears your screams.

- - - - - - - - - - - -

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

- - - - - - - - - - - -

A crash reduces
your expensive computer
to a simple stone.

- - - - - - - - - - - -

Yesterday it worked
Today it is not working
Windows is like that.

- - - - - - - - - - - -

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.

- - - - - - - - - - - -

Rather than a beep
Or a rude error message,
These words: "File not found."

- - - - - - - - - - - -

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