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.

Here's a hypothetical for both Jab and FF: If the "Bush" one doesn't work for someone, what would you suggest? ~ Image

What's supposed to happen with "rand"? I followed the instructions and nothing happened. As for yours, Sooz, I sometimes get that language (korean?) on the top of my screen with Firefox.

Jab, I'm on XP Pro ~ nothing happens ~ I opened notepad, typed "Bush hid the facts", saved it in My Docs, and when I open it it says "Bush hid the facts" ~ and I thought I was being mysterious using "hypothetical" and "someone" ~ Image ~ LOL!

pic, are you sure you hit "enter"? ~ I forgot that the first time I tried ~

That's probably from the time I had access to your computer. I remember that I had at the same time Chinese take-out.
Of course it could also be that you have chinese language installed on your system. Nothing to be worried about. You're just special. Image

Rats! I always miss out on the good stuff!


By the way, I think we may be visited by the Yuku magician soon - I've been having trouble posting for the last hour or so.

For "Rand" in Word I got 33 pages of "The quick Brown fox jumped over the lazy dog."

For the Bush one I got dots like a blocked out password.

You may have Word2007 this is a Word 2003 easter egg. Modify the command to =rand.old()

Doubt the machine... Most probably the application installations.
