01/27/05 Tip: If you want to upgrade your miserable 2MB Hotmail Inbox to 250 Mb and you’re not from the US, change your profile info to a US State (I used “Florida”, Zip 33332), then go to passport.net, and in “Member Services”, close your .NET account. Click through all the warnings (“your emails will be lost”, “the dingo will eat your babies”, etc. — this is bullshit, you won’t lose your email), finish the process, go back to the hotmail site, re-login (by this point your account has been put “on hold”) to reactivate your account (you’ll have to re-do the end user agreement and stuff) and voila. Your account will have a 25 Mb Inbox. Give it up to a month for the 250 Mb upgrade, which will happen automagically. {6}
