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.
