I hope not  like you and lenseman, I 'see' the page in my head whenever I need to recall the details on it, as if I were reading it actually. it helps a lot!

Phew ... and I thought it was just me ....
Mayhap PC use was to blame as written information became electronic in nature - once one was 'forced' to use this reference, the ability was lost through 'lack of use' or irritation at the change (I cannot remember the instance(s)). Though I know I did begin to resent the 'do not print and read' instruction so perhaps this is part of a sub-conscious switch being turned in my brain ....

.... Once lost, now gone.
Interesting thought ....
