Haiku not found;
The existential horror
Of lost poetry.
Your chips were willing
But the net didn't comply.

@unclepj @kancept Shout out to Net+ #NetPositive #BeOS native browser, which graced us with a slew of haiku error messages, which made the horror hit a bit softer.

@unclepj @kancept My very favorite

"The code was willing
It considered your request,
But the chips were weak."

@unclepj For anyone wondering, #BeOS was the last original OS, and it got bought out of existence, but a successor still out there, for fun and kicks.

@faraiwe I had forgotten about BeOS and it's error language. I remember when it was a thing and I spent a month playing with it on a spare machine. Thank you for that reminder.
