Notepad fun - Type "this app can break" without the quotes into Notepad and save the file. When you open it up, Notepad won't be able to deal with it.

So you have broken the app,how do you repair it and what do you do for an encore?

Also, I found out yesterday that you can't create a folder named "con" on the C:/ drive

"con" is a device name. When you type "copy con test.txt" you can type text at the console and hit Ctrl-Z to save it. You also can´t create a directory named "nul".

Hahaha! you can't! Notepad seems as though it is a simple text editor, which is is. However, it does appear to be broken.
