Caps Lock is a button on a keyboard that changes if a letter should be capitalized or not. It is located in the position of a similar Shift lock key (and sometimes a Ctrl key) found in some other keyboard layouts.
The actual Caps Lock behaviour depends on the operating system and driver as well as the chosen local keyboard layout. On non-IBM compatible computers it may also depend on the keyboard hardware itself.
Typical Caps Lock behaviour is that pressing the key sets an input mode in which all typed letters are uppercase by default (i.e. in All caps). The keyboard remains in Caps Lock mode until the key is pressed again.
Several variants of this behaviour exist:
In some keyboard layouts, the status of the Caps Lock key only changes the meaning of the alphabet keys (verbatim as per capital shift lock), not that of the number row, which then still requires the Shift key to be pressed to reach the alternative key definitions.
Depending on the keyboard layout used, holding down the shift key while Caps Lock is already on is either ignored (because all keys are already shifted), will also shift keys which are not being shifted by Caps Lock alone (see above) or effectively invert the shifting status of each key, so that where Caps Lock shifts all keys, pressing Shift will temporarily switch to lowercase again, whereas on a keyboard where Caps Lock only shifts alphabet keys, pressing Shift will temporarily switch the alpha keys to lowercase while shifting the number row as normal. Some keyboard layouts implement a fourth variant, where Shift will temporarily invoke two different sets of alternative key definitions depending on if Caps Lock is currently active or not. The inverting behaviour of the Shift key is the most common variant on English keyboards.
CONFIG.SYS is the primary configuration file for the DOS and OS/2 operating systems. It is a special ASCII text file that contains user-accessible setup or configuration directives evaluated by the operating system during boot. CONFIG.SYS was introduced with DOS 2.0.
The directives in this file configure DOS for use with devices and applications in the system. The CONFIG.SYS directives also set up the memory managers in the system. After processing the CONFIG.SYS file, DOS proceeds to load and execute the command shell specified in the SHELL line of CONFIG.SYS, or COMMAND.COM if there is no such line. The command shell in turn is responsible for processing the AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
CONFIG.SYS is composed mostly of name=value directives which look like variable assignments. In fact, these will either define some tunable parameters often resulting in reservation of memory, or load files, mostly device drivers and TSRs, into memory.
In DOS, CONFIG.SYS is located in the root directory of the drive from which the system was booted.

Plot: A loverlorn tanning salon employee, a homey grandma and her bad-ass biker tenant, a lame gang, a nosediving intellectual, and a dis-uniting father and son. Connect 5 is the chance for these absurdly real people to risk it all. These five stories are bound together by a roving evil man, who "pushes" them out of the rut of life. Charity, the tanning salon chick, dumps her boyfriend for the tender affection of a ten-year-old. The lame gang battles fist to fist with the legions of Satan. Norma hires a young stud biker to be the "man of her house." Frank and Frank take a ride down memory lane that ends in a 50 car emotional pile-up. Capslock recircuits his computer network to locate a girl obsessed with her vagina. And the evil man himself? He wanted a van. A big black rapist van. With no windows. Like a big fat hammerhead shark. This would be Satan's van. An evil van... for an evil man. But all he got was a mauve Geo prism with primer. So he crushes a dog, hi-jacks an ice cream truck, rocket-vomits on yuppies, kidnaps a chicken named "Balls," tongue-kisses Charity, rips the doors off his Geo metro and let "Balls" the chicken shit all over the backseat. He's making a list, checking it twice, and he's packing a big sack of whoop-ass.
