Microsoft Magic

Some of you might have already seen this.. but here you go, some "cool stuff" from Microsoft:

MAGIC #1
An Indian discovered that nobody can create a FOLDER anywhere on the computer which can be named as "CON". This is something pretty cool...and unbelievable. At Microsoft the whole Team, couldn't answer why this happened!

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.
A bug? :-??

MAGIC #3
This is something pretty cool and neat...and unbelievable. 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.
Amazing, isn't it?

MAGIC #1, this is due to CON in old day DOS is refer to either Screen (if use as stdout) or Keyboard (if use as stdin)
eg: in DOS, u typed TYPE A.TXT to print out the content of file, u can use COPY A.TXT CON to do the same things.

the other name that is not useable is PRN which refer to LPT1: by default. u can try also. no folder named PRN too.
