Thread: What would my computer do if I wrote these programs?

What would happen if I wrote these two programs amd just let them run:

1. A program that just constantly created files in a particular directory without ever ending?

2. If I dumped tons of data into a particular file (text, html, etc) and just let the program run until something happened?

I suspect that the OS would kick in before you did too much, but I didn't know. They are really easy to write, but I was hesitant to test it out on my computer since this is really the only good one I have.

Thanks!

Wraithan, I've gotta check out your music collection some time! You had over 65,534 files in one folder! Impressive!

Cool that helps. Thanks guys.
