Amount of data stored in a blob

[Mads Kristensen]

Is it true that I can only store 65535 bytes (2^16-1) in a field of type 
BLOB? I thought that a BLOB was supposed to be able to hold 2^16 bytes 
of data.

If it is indeed only possible to store 2^16-1 bytes I would like to know 
why this has been implemented in that way (yes, I am always this curious ;-)

Best regards,
Mads Kristensen
