What software do you use?
« on: April 18, 2010, 12:53:53 AM »
An informal poll:
Which program of the following types do you use?    If you don't regularly use a program of that type, you can say "None"   or just leave that category out.  Feel free to add additional categories   if there is a type of program you use a lot but isn't on here.  If you   use two about equally you can show both, but it is better to just put   one.
