Everybody may already know how to do this but, I didn't and it was driving me crazy. And, since I will have to make this change again sometime, I'm posting it here. Ever since I switched over to Wordpress, I've been stuck with a two (2) meg file upload limit. I thought this was a bit crazy because I self host this site and have full control over every aspect of the server.

Clear Lost Content Adviser Password
Got an interesting from a friend out of a while back. In her e-mail she asked: My dad, who is 67 and knows nothing about a computer – nothing – is trying to operate my late mother’s Dell, so that he can use the internet.

Here's an interesting read about Apple's wonderful customer service. Note my sarcasm? :-) Anyway, here's a short clip of the article. The Apple Retail Store Hates You - I recently visited the Apple store to exchange a defective power adapter which was still under warranty. I still have the defective adapter, as it has now cost more time and effort than it was originally worth. What I have lost is time, money, and trust in the ethics of the retail store.
