I agree. I seem to have an odd talent for remembering numbers (strange, since I can't recall names to save my life). Part numbers, phone numbers, addresses, etc. -- obscure numbers I haven't used in years. There is a rhythmic quality to numbers that allows me to recall them just as I might recall some piece of music I heard years ago. The recall mechanism seems identical to me.
