Answer to Question 1

One should consider what is compatible with their current systems, especially since they are unlikely to be able to afford expensive upgrades. Also, ease of use is an issue, given their lack of training and experience. The windows operating system is not much of a limit since most open source database management systems will work on Windows as well as other operating systems but some newer versions may need more power and more current versions of the Operating System.

Answer to Question 2

TRUE

Your skin wrinkles if you stay in the bathtub a long time because the outermost layer of skin (which consists of dead keratin) swells when it absorbs water. It is tightly attached to the skin below it, so it compensates for the increased area by wrinkling. This happens to the hands and feet because they have the thickest layer of dead keratin cells.
