Neat things , but quite old already.

Fact no 1:

A folder with that name cannot be created because in the past , CON was a MS-DOS command for console , and I guess they still didn’t clean up the code.

Fact no 2:

Doesn’t work on Windows 7. In my opinnion it’s just a programmers joke. We programmers have a strange sense of humour.

Fact no 3:

Neat thing , again , some programmers sense of humour involved.

On Microsoft Mystery #2, after typing ‘Bush hid the facts’, and saving; then add an ‘e’ to ‘Bush hid the facts’ giving “Bushe hid the facts”, and it will print correctly. Then eliminate the ‘e’ from the name and save and view it again. What do you see?

I’ve only tried the 2nd bug and got these results.

1 I did as directed with the Bush phrase and got the strange results.

2 I used a different name and saved as the same text file used in step 1. The phrase appeared correctly.

3. I edited the same file again and put in the Bush name and saved. When I opened it the phrase appeared correctly.

Guess this is only a bug for brand new files.
