You really should get rid of that after you’ve installed wordpress (or any PHP app).

Time to turn it over to /b/ and let the jackals eat it….

Sorry, but its the only way to make people remember.

Hehe, funny. Well – thanks for this unforgettable impressions, stranger. But anyhow, thanks for not completely messing up my machine 😉
