I can't remember an entire IP address. Say I read it off one screen and have to enter it completely in another... I can never remember past the first 2 octets without having to look back. Can you ?

One more thing... the only way to "upgrade" your memory is to read more. Hah! I haven't read a book in ... hmm...

I'm the same way. I have excellent long-term memory, but my short-term is iffy.

I'm the same way. I can't remember names, but I'll remember faces until I die.
