delara, interrupted

Sony has announced its own computer operating system now available on its Vaio computers. Instead of producing the cryptic error messages characteristic of Microsoft Windows, Sony's chairman said, "We intend to capture the high ground by putting a more traditional Eastern face on what has been until now an operating system that reflects Western cultural hegemony."

The chairman went on to give examples of Sony's new error messages to be released with the new operating system:

A file that big?
It might be very useful
But now it is gone.

Chaos reigns within.
Reflect, repent and reboot.
Order shall return.

Aborted effort.
Close all that you have.
You ask way too much.

Yesterday it worked.
Today it is not working.
Programs are 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.

Stay the patient course.
Of little worth is your ire.
The network is down.

Three things are certain:
Death, taxes and lost data.
Guess which has occurred.

Out of memory.
We wish to hold the whole sky,
But we never will.

Serious error.
All shortcuts have disappeared.
Screen, mind - both are blank.
