the husband answers: elb (11:58:08 PM): chris cgs (11:58:24 PM): yes, my love? elb (11:58:20 PM): why can't i create a folder in windows called con cgs (11:58:37 PM): con? cgs(11:58:52 PM): con is a special "file" cgs (11:58:56 PM): means the console elb(11:58:52 PM): ahhh elb (11:58:59 PM): so it is reserved? cgs (11:59:13 PM): mm hmm cgs (11:59:42 PM): like if you want to create a new text file from the command line, you'd do "copy con: file.txt" cgs (11:59:45 PM): and type type type cgs (11:59:53 PM): and then hit ctrl-z to end the input cgs (12:01:26 AM): it's actually from DOS cgs (12:01:28 AM): btw cgs (12:02:03 AM): but windows is backwards compatible with DOS
