After having spent my working years making a living with my brain it is disconcerting to begin to lose control of it. This old saying comes to mind: Cheer up things could be worse so I cheered up and shore enough things became worse. [log in to unmask] Dale Severance (56/10) Syracuse, NY. Hello Dale, I know what you mean about seeing a task through to completion. I have just spent two weeks modifying a program which I wrote some 4 years ago. The job took me at least twice as long as it would have in the good old days. Programming is a good test of brain fade, demanding the same sort of concentration that is required to play chess, and it is the inability to concentrate for long periods which I think is the main problem. On a more positive note, I have come to the conclusion that the key to the problem is sleep. I rarely achieve more than five hours of sleep, and I can function reasonably on this much, BUT, don't ask me to do any thinking. A couple of times during the last 2 weeks, I got lucky and slept an extra hour - the difference was apparent to me as soon as I started programming. have you noticed anything similar?
