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!
TRY IT NOW ,IT WILL NOT CREATE " 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.
is it just a really weird bug? :-??

About magic #1
"CON" stands for Console(together key board & monitor) and used as a device name by Disk Operating System(DOS).
e.g. : the syntax of "copy" command is - copy "source" "destination"
If you want to create a file using "copy" command then you need to write :-
copy con "file Name"
at "dos prompt / command prompt". Then enter some text as file content & press F6 key to indicate as end of file and then press “Enter” key to save the file and exit from copy command.
That means, whatever you typed through keyboard and displayed on monitor, will be copied to the given file name.
After creating a file you can try reversely by typing:-
copy "File Name" con
at "dos prompt / command prompt" and can understand the use of "CON"
So "CON" is a reserved word in DOS environment
SO a nice question can be asked during interview of Computer or IT students, i.e How to see contents of a text file in DOS environment without using type command?
