Technology that sucks ... big time.

The problem is that I have to remember that I have the problem <B>at the moment</B> someone tells me their name. If I could remember to write it down on a 3x5, I could remember to do some sort of name-association trick or whatever.

It's not so much that I bad memory. Once I know someone's name, I don't forget it. But when my brain hears a name, it thinks "oh, that's nice" instead of "OK, $name = Bob". As UT said, within a matter of seconds, the data is just gone.
