I couldnt remember what was recommened to run tests on I thought I seen someone say 12 so thats what I was using for most and as you could tell the one jumped up to 73.4 MB.

Yea I am going to wait and make sure it keeps resetting at least tomorrow as well. Then I will do more if it does. I might even let the kids have full access for a while ... or is that too much LMAO..
