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

The Web site you seek
Can not be located but
Countless more exist

Reflect, repent, and reboot.
Order shall return.

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

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

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

but the water has moved on.
This page is not here.

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

The document you’re seeking
Must now be retyped.

All shortcuts have disappeared.
