Saw this online and thought it was cool.
"You can't create a folder called 'con' in Microsoft Windows!"
Does any one have an explanation because it's really odd....

Code: telnet towel.blinkenlights.nl the command 'telnet' is telling XP to run the program telnet, opening a text based connection with towel.blinenlights.nl, a website. Once the connection is made, towel.blinenlights.nl sends text back, making it seem like an easter egg, when in reality its just a bunch of info being sent from one website to you.
So... yeah.

You guys are just so easy! The Star Wars thing had it's own thread somewhere once. All was revealed there.

Due to the fact windows needs those names reserved for some of its processes, you can't name a folder com1 or com2 either i believe.
