Want to have fun with a Windows user running WinXP? Send them this file and watch it get automatically unzipped:

The file contains 16 zipped files, which again contains 16 zipped files, which again contains 16 zipped files, which again contains 16 zipped, which again contains 16 zipped files, which contain 1 file, with the size of 4.3GB.

So, if you extract all files, you will most likely run out of space

Which works out to about 4.5 million Gigs: 42.zip.

Note: If you are a Windows user: please don’t click that link until you’re certian your browser won’t automagically decompress the file. You’ve been warned.

Note 2: The same could be done with a .sit file, you smug arrogant Mac users, you.
