Because what it is basicly is that you and most people have adominant side of the brain.This allows you to be either creative or logical. I on the other hand can be both or neither at any time. The logic can be creative a wonderful benefit. Unfortunatly every good thing has to have a drawback. this has the ability to make repeatative acts very hard. because files dont allways get put back where you just got them from. One of the repeatative acts most difficult is typing . I can not look at the screen and type . So I can be correcting as i go. Also finding special keys like caps is very difficult . but i can live with that. besides when i went to school they said men will never need to type. unfortunatly here i am . usually when i am typing my mind is three steps ahead. and before i know it i have hit the send key. I am controling this alot better after years of trials but hey its only for fun anyways. St. Paul had his throne in his flesh; this is mine . I can live with it. but maybe some others can't. okay i can understand that. Living in this perfect world where everyone is without flaw I must appologize,for my imperfection must really be annoying. Dick sorry your perfect world was infiltrated by my imperfection. Can you try to live with it like i do imperfect logic.
