Error message redux

I tried to load a website a few days ago and encountered this message:

“The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process”

Okay then. Glad we cleared that up.

This bewildering little piece of internet prose immediately brought to mind those halcyon days in the late 90s when the Web was rife with files unfound, jenny middle america’s personal homepage was eternally under construction (not that we actually wanted to read about her award-winning collection of tea cozies) and some people really believed that Bill Gates would send them $1000 just for forwarding an email (yes, they really did).

It also reminded me of this article, which still gives me a chuckle.
