Using the partial matching features of the fortune() function and the  
search strategy " mind" for "mind-reading" and "mind reading" and to  
avoid "remind", I find these candidates:

There are actual error messages, and until you show them, we can not  
help as the mind reading machine is currently off for repairs.

You are going to need a few more sessions for this therapy to be  
useful, we cannot read your computer's mind, just interpret what you  
tell us. I don't want to jump ahead, but can you tell us the childhood  
of your crashes, etc.
