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.
