How many documents can you store in a 2 GB flash drive hold?
This depends on the size of the documents in question. However, the following is an estimate.
- A 1 page document is approximately 30KB in size (this is for an Office 2003 document)
- There are 2097152KB in a 2GB flash drive
- 2097152KB divided by 30KB = approximately 69,905 documents
We could also do the same for a 10-page document, which is approximately 145KB (again, Office 2003):
- 2097152KB divided by 145KB = 14,463 documents
Needless to say, it's a lot of documents!

Some, but not all, routers have a reset button. Different routers require different steps to perform resetting. On many of them, to restore your own "personal setup" that was created when you first installed the router - not the original factory settings - you just have to disconnect the power supply and reconnect it after a minute or two. You will need to locate and read the manual if you cannot get to Belkin's support site online.

What type of electrical current does a computer need to function?
All computers, and electronic devices for that matter, require a direct current (DC). Any electricity coming from a wall socket is what's called AC or an alternating current because it oscillates back and forth very rapidly. Computers require a very constant and steady stream of electricity and so it must convert the power from an outlet from AC to DC before it can be used. That's why there are capacitors on the motherboard to steady and even out power while changing it from AC to DC.
