Hello Stefan, Robbin, everyone,

This is a very interesting observation.  I've noticed that I can listen to
music, in fact very challenging music, when I program (one kind of writing)
but not when I write in a natural language.  It's interesting to see this
potential link.

Writing "Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow...." uses one part of the brain
while writing the following uses another?  :-)

public static void main() {
   printf("Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow\n");
   exit(0);
}
