When I try to remember, I just wiggle my fingers a bit and the letters will flow out and I read what my hand is independently telling me. Kinesthetic memory, or as my firneds say:"Proof that Liz's brain is in her little fingernail." I ownder if it would work if I pretended to perkins key the name a few times. Ah but that's two hands... And me and coordinating two hands is not a pretty event! Big laugh. liz
