not a lot of people get caught with that c:/con/con thing, actually, it tends to be only computer nonthinkers, since there has actully been a microsoft patch out since 2000 which fixes it. Plus it only works if you are using win95 with iexplore or win98 with iexplore. Some win98 were shipped supposedly with the patch already installed, and if you use any other OS and browser combination it won't work. (MacOS with Iexplore, WinME with Opera any unix with any browser et c, will not crash).

Master of Reality:
maybe we'll have to use one of the many other windoze bugs. (i didnt really want to post, i just wanted to see my new sig)

Goosenbury Clock, as you see knows jack shit about Windows which is why he uses it. In the old days they  did a good job of saving work for programers. Instead of the Programmers for dos writing there own IO routines for software. You could have a program "Open" a file that was a device. Like:
CON Standard Output (Display) /dev/tty
PRN Printer port 1 (LPT1) /dev/lp0
LPT* Local Parralel * (LPT*) /dev/lp*
COM* Serial port * (COM*) /dev/com*
NUL NULL

Ect, Ect.
These where handled by IO.SYS You can make Internet Explorer open these and it will send the VFAT module nuts due to poor programming in real browsers like: Mozilla, Netscape, Mozilla its programmed correctly so this does not happen. Becase mozilla, netscape, arachne's credits have names accoiated with them. The programmers take more care. And therfor they are better. Microsoft feel no compition so they dont give a shit about the end user. So that now i have explained to you what and how these work you are educated!

There is a patch for the bug here:
