unbelievable
All of that being said, here are the lessons I've learned.
1 always wright your passwords down physically, and keep them somewhere safe and secure.
2 If you have more than one e-mail address like me. put your e-mail addresses as an alternate address.
3 Don't have too many passwords. Find two or three that are easy to remember but hard to figure out and stick with them.
Don't do what I've done. If anyone has any other tips fill free to add them.

Computer upgrades
Thin Clients are basically a striped down desktop PC. They have no moving parts and use convection as a means of cooling. Because of the lack of moving parts, thin clients have fewer breakdowns than desktop PC's. Thin clients are really a short term memory device that use a server to run programs for them. True they do have software programed into them, you can load software onto them, and most have multiple USB and other ports; but for the most part they are a slave computer.
Now, I've looked at a lot of different prices, and I'm pretty sure for what we need at the office, we're looking at $2500 to $3000. If we go with the desktop PC's like we've been doing the last few years, we're looking at $1500 to $2000. So, why go the more expensive route? I feel that instead of spending $2000 a year, and wait for the computers to catch up to the software. We could spend $3000 now and $500 a year in upgrades, and have the computers that are waiting on the software to catch up. And in 3 to 5 years the money will even out and we'll have really good computers still.
I don't control the money, so all i can do is present my findings and point of view. If anyone has any additional info, please feel free to comment.

What’s with bed sizes?
June 27, 2008 by confusedrickI’ve Always Wondered what the difference in bed sizes were. So I did some research and ran across some nifty information.
Bed and Sheet Size Charts Also see this Article: Guide to Bed Sizes
Bed Sizes
Mattress Size Note: some manufacturers are shaving inches off of these “standard” sizes. Understand the exact size of the mattress you decide to purchase and how fitted sheets may not fit correctly on non-standard sized mattresses. | Also known as: | Width (in Inches) | Length (in Inches) |
Crib | Baby bed | 28″ | 52″ |
Twin | Single | 39″ | 75″ |
Twin X-Long | Extra Long Single | 39″ | 80″ |
Double | Full | 54″ | 75″ |
Queen | Queen | 60″ | 80″ |
Standard or Eastern King | King | 76″-78″ (widest) | 80″ |
California King | Western King | 72″ | 84″ (longest) |
Sheet Sizes
Mattress Size | Fitted Sheet (in Inches) - top surface measurement ** | Flat Sheet (in Inches) | Pillowcase (in Inches) |
Crib | 28″ x 52″ | 42″ x 72″ | n/a |
Twin | 39″ x 75″ | 66″ x 96″ | 20″ x 26″ |
Twin X-Long | 39″ x 80″ | 66″ x 102″ | 20″ x 26″ |
Double | 54″ x 75″ | 81″ x 96″ + | 20″ x 26″ |
Queen | 60″ x 80″ | 90″ x 102″ + | 20″ x 30″ |
King (Standard/Eastern) | 76-78″ x 80″ | 108″ x 102″ + | 20″ x 36 to 40″ |
California King | 72″ x 84″ | 102″ x 110″ | 20″ x 36 to 40″ |
Note: some manufacturers are currently either adding a few extra inches OR shaving inches off of these “standard” sizes. Understand the exact size of the mattress you decide to purchase and how fitted sheets may not fit correctly on “non-standard” sized mattresses.
** FITTED SHEETS: Please note that mattress depths vary widely by manufacturer. Measure the depth of your mattress before purchasing sheets. Standard and older mattresses average 9-12″, while newer pillow-top mattresses are 14-16″ deep and up. These deeper mattresses will require additional depth in fitted sheets. FLAT SHEETS: If you own an extra-deep mattress, be aware of flat sheet sizes as well. Choose the largest sizes available so there will be an adequate length to tuck in at least 8-12″ underneath the end of the bed. In some cases it may be necessary to purchase the next size up (a queen flat sheet for a double bed, etc.), in order to cover the deeper mattress.
+ The dimensions of flat sheets vary somewhat in width and length by manufacturer. The + denotes that some manufacturers offer sheets with a few added inches. Look for these to use on the larger, pillow-top mattresses.
