Yeah - it doesn't yell hoax, but it certainly felt like it - probably because I have come across other things that ... tried too hard? and that definately did NOT work.
As for the university course - I will get the memory charger (in a bit. saving up now). The main thing is that I want to work with other people to *create* a university course that uses everything, starting out with a photoreading seminar, daily braingym and/or Qi Gong, courses that are designed to activate books that the students have photoread, mindmapping, study schedules that promote long time memory, reading to music, image streaming, direct learning - so far it is just a jumble of ideas, and I will spend another year just learning to photoread properly and designing my future. Then we will see. Obviously designing a university course is something that I couldn't do alone. One of my dreams though
