Haiku

Someone showed me this and I thought it was quite amusing.

Supposedly in Japan, they have replaced the impersonal and unhelpful Microsoft error messages with Haiku poetry messages.

Haiku has strict construction rules.
Each poem has only 17 syllables: 5 syllables in the first line, 7 in the second, and 5 in the third.

They are used to communicate timeless messages, often achieving a wistful, yearning and powerful insight through extreme brevity. Instead of making you want to throw your computer out the window, they have a calming effect.

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