FMB: Micro-soft things…

MAGIC #1
Nobody can create a FOLDER anywhere on the computer which can be named as “CON”.

MAGIC #2
This is something pretty cool and neat…and unbelievable. ..

Try it out yourself…
Open Microsoft Word and type
=rand (200, 99)
And then press ENTER

MAGIC #3

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.
Is it just a really weird bug?
You can try the same thing above with another sentence “this app can break”

Explanation for Magic #1:
In windows the folder name and the special system variables share the same interface, so when you create a folder with a system variable name it will consider that folder already exist!!
These special system variables are available irrespective of path. You cannot create a folder with these names also:
CON, NUL, COM1, COM2, COM3, LPT1, LPT2, LPT3,COM1 to COM9 and LPT1 to LPT9….

CON means console, COM1 means serial port 1, LPT1 means parallel port 1
