I'm 100% sure that if I live long enough, I'll wind up drooling and unable to 
remember my name--but ask me 80s song lyrics, and I'll be your guy!

As some comedian put it, "I'm getting to that stage in my life where I ask 
myself, 'Why am I here?' -- not in an existential sense, I mean I'm standing in 
the basement going, 'I came down here to get something, now what the heck was 
it?!'"

Amen.  Speaking of old memories that should have been forgotten decades ago: 
Personally I would place 7080 architecture and op codes in that category. In my 
young mind, it was "strange." Possibly because I was never involved with a 650.

Now days, remembering what I am supposed to do this afternoon can be a problem!
