MAGIC #1

An Indian found that nobody can create a FOLDER anywhere on the Computer which can be named as "CON". This is something funny and inexplicable… At Microsoft the whole Team, couldn't answer why this happened!
TRY IT NOW, IT WILL NOT CREATE A "CON" FOLDER

MAGIC #2
For those of you using Windows, do the following:
1.) Open an empty notepad file
2.) Type "Bush hid the facts" (without the quotes)
3.) Save it as whatever you want.
4.) Close it, and re-open it.
Noticed the weird bug? No one can explain!

MAGIC #3
Again this is something funny and can't be explained… At Microsoft the whole Team, including Bill Gates, couldn't answer why this happened!
It was discovered by a Brazilian. Try it out yourself…
Open Microsoft Word and type
=rand (200, 99)
And then press ENTER

This is what Microsoft call a "reserved" word

This is leftover from the DOS days.

CON is a constant used in many structured languange script commands.
Windows does not allow the following to be used as folders or files names either. CON, AUX, NUL, PRN, LPT1/2/3/4 COM1/2/3/4

You can make folders with com1 com2 com 3 but not joined

Just tried it on an XP PC and it works so it must be something to do with Vista I assume. At least I know what it does now so I'll be able to sleep tonight ;)
