I think we've all been in situations like these haikus describe.
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.
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.
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.

Susan
Here are a few freeform haiku computer error messages.
Grammatik say
I can't work no more
Oh, no.
I don't care
That is YOUR problem
Not mine
Disconnect Now
What you would do
Is gone
Virus detected
400 dollars this will require
Checkbook Nearby?
(I sure hope that last one never darkens my screen!)

That little error haiku was inspired by Compuserve/AOL, one of the few ISPs to have the "honor" of commonly disconnecting at least one time every online session, and usually at the most inopportune of times (when you're in an important IM conversation or when you have just finished a long post and right before you can hit the submit reply button are a few "favorite times" for a disconnect)
Grrrrrr  If I could transfer my e-mails, I think I would pay extra for another service.
