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, YOU CANNOT 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



And see the magic?..!



Smiles :o)

we cant create a folder named CON, NUL, COM1, COM2, COM3, LPT1, LPT2, LPT3,COM1 to COM9 and LPT1 to LPT9.... in any of the windows operating system...reason MS-DOS Device Driver Names Cannot be Used as File Names and by all mean Microsoft knows abt it.

#3 - Using the rand() function in the way described automatically adds several sentences and paragraphs that repeat the words, The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. These words are often used for testing because, together, they contain all the letters in the English alphabet in one concise and coherent sentence. Such a sentence is known as a pangram.

You can alter the results of the rand() function by adding numbers in the round brackets. The first number controls the number of paragraphs while the second number controls the number of sentences in each paragraph. For example, using "rand(3,5)" will add three paragraphs of five sentences each.
