This program claims to be able to improve brain functions such as memory and processing speed. I'm close to getting suckered into paying its $80/yr price tag.

What do you guys think?

argh.. anyone, is this actually worth it? I need to do what I can to improve my brain functions, as the ADD kind of takes a little toll on concentration and overall memory. Learning a language is a little tough because of that, especially Russian. If I could help my brain, through self medication and through these exercises, I'd definitely be suckered into paying. But, is it actually worth it?

A little off topic: are you training at Monterey AFB right now? My friend just finished learning Russian there.
