Cyber Haiku
Sony has announced its own computer operating system now available on its hot new portable PC called the Vaio. Instead of producing the cryptic error messages characteristic of Microsoft's Windows and DOS operating systems, Sony's chairman Asai Tawara said, "We intend to capture the high ground by putting a human, Japanese face on what has been until now an operating system that reflects Western cultural hegemony. For example, we have replaced the impersonal and unhelpful Microsoft error messages with our own Japanese haiku poetry." The chairman went on to give several examples of Sony's new error messages: First snow, then silence. This thousand dollar screen dies so beautifully. With searching comes loss and the presence of absence: "My Novel" not found. Yesterday it worked. Today it is not working. Windows is like that. 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. 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. Serious error. All shortcuts have disappeared. Screen. Mind. Both are blank. (Much better than MS messages - IMO -------------------- |

The blonde received a telephone call from the collection agency. The voice on the other end demanded that she pay for the windows she had had professionally installed 2 yeas ago. The blonde replied that the windows were already paid for and that the collection agency was to QUIT HARRASING HER! The voice on the other end wanted proof that the windows were paid for, so the blonde asked him for an address. The next week the collection agent received stickers the blonde has peeled off the windows stating, "These windows will pay for themselves in less than 2 years!". He followed up with a phone call to the blonde. "What do you mean by sending me these stickers?", the agent demanded. The blonde replied, "See I told you. They paid for themselves in less than 2 years! Hellloooo . . . "

Trick or Treat
A Bloody Tale Three vampires walk into a bar. The waitress comes up to them and asks them what they'll have. The first vampire says in a Transylvanian accent, "I'll have some O Positive, straight up." The second vampire says, "Give me a mug of AB Negative." The third vampire says, "I'm the designated driver. I'll just have a glass of plasma." The waitress turns toward the bartender and yells, "Gimme two bloods and one blood lite!" -------------------- |
