On the other hand, it's possible you've known the capital of Maine for the last 35 or so. We learned them all but we started with Maine, so that will probably be the last one I forget. I believe it's on a river that I knew the trisyllabic name of as well - but I will refrain from checking. We didn't learn much about web browsers though. Or even about the telephone switching network. Which, in the 1950s, might have been more plausible.

@glc @jhsoby I've known the capitals of most countries since I was five or so (my favorite has always been Managua), but I'm much less good with U.S. state capitals :( But I remember very well that when I was 12, I learned what the capital of #RhodeIsland is, and strangely enough, thirty-one years later, I moved there.
