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. ------- ABORTED effort: 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. -- ----/ / _ Fred A.
