root@london:~# rm "lack of respect for microsoft"
rm: cannot remove `lack of respect for microsoft'

PS: dont run that command if you do have a very important file called "lack of respect for microsoft" in the current working directory...

Got this in an email in the days of Win3.1

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

Windows NT crashed.*
I am the Blue Screen of Death.*
No one hears your screams.*

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

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

Yesterday it worked
Today it is not working*
Windows is like that*

ABORTED effort:*
Close all that you have.*
You ask way too much.*

First snow, then silence.*
This thousand dollar screen dies*
so beautifully.*

You step in the stream,*
but the water has moved on.*
This page is not here.*

Rather than a beep*
Or a rude error message,* T
hese words: "File not found."*

A crash reduces*
your expensive computer*
to a simple stone.*

The Tao that is seen*
Is not the true Tao, until*
You bring fresh toner.*

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

Having been erased,*
The document you're seeking*
Must now be retyped.*

With searching comes loss*
and the presence of absence:*
"My Novel" not found.
