I am amazed at how he recalls events, issues, incidents etc. with such detail decades after they happened. I can’t seem to remember things well that happened 6 months ago.

Does anyone have a system they use to help with such rich recollection?

I remember waiting for IR file sharing. It was SLOW.

Oh hell yes I do. Dog slow but at least it worked decently well, something I can't say about Bluetooth.
