These appeared in my grad school orientation tutorial. (I specifically asked for permission to share these with friends, since I don't feel like getting kicked out of school on an ethical violation before classes have even started!) Some of these cracked me up -
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.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
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.
