How old were you?

I'm still young in the grand scheme of "life" what I meant more by that statement is learning electronics as a hobby in fragments of time seems to be much harder than when I went to collage (for computer science) and all of my time was dedicated to learning, practicing the topic. :-DD

You really won't remember stuff you don't use. In my case, I am happy to remember where I found the answer. Which book, which chapter, that kind of thing.
There's just too much stuff to remember and it just gets harder with age.

Comments are one of those things that have to bite before you improve upon yourself

Kind of like backing up your hard drive :)

Neural networks need constant reinforcement to remember things.
Don't take 6 month breaks from any particular subject. Queue up projects in each domain of interest and cycle through them.
I can't even remember peoples' names, until I've heard them three or more times (unless they just happen to "click" for some reason, an existing strong association or something). That's very average, as far as I know. Don't worry about it, just put in the effort to overcome it, if you feel that effort is worthwhile. :)

And the SMT components are getting smaller and smaller, while the pulse becomes shakier and the eyesight poorer!

Don't forget the hands... |O
Actually, I'm on a medication for it this past month and it's helping (Primidone). Seems the dosage just needs some sorting out. :)
