Dear IsolatedPurity:
Not sure I understand the logic behind the move from "Technology & Computers" to "Null", yet "Post your specs" remains in T&C.



Dear frazz:
That's only due to a lack of imagination. =oP This subject has the potential to expose you to new programs, which you can then open a discussion about. For instance, I'm seeing a few people with Audacity for sound editing, so this perks my interest to find out more about it. You can also debate the pros and cons, advantages, etc, of different software, or find other people that use the same software as you and discuss what each knows about it and teach one another.

It's a polling thread, there's only so many answer one can give... In the other thread it's unlimited and we can discuss things.
