Umm... didn't read the article but why are people trying to rename ADD?

Because the guy who wrote the article was on a deadline and had no original ideas :Thmbsup:

Man...this article takes the cake for unoriginal ideas then. ADD = serious issue; lots of false victims; does not need extra propaganda to exclude people from insanity.
Plus the whole story is: Log off and read a book then Log on, search Google for tidbits about the book, join one or two discussion forums and say hello to extra hell.
Edit: On the flipside, the applications you guys are listing here are a lot better than the ones you guy say you are often using in one of the other DonationCoder software listing threads. Focus groups...err...forum threads truly don't work.

It all really depends on what you want to get done. Editplus, Visual Studio, and Photoshop are my main workhorses. I just opened up an Illustrator instance as I need to do some basic logo design, or attempt it anyways. A lot of things you simply can't reasonably do in some software. MS Paint is much better than it used to be, but it's painful to work in. It's also about what you're used to. I suppose if I were used to the GIMP, I'd use it, but I'm used to Photoshop.
I generally just try to use whatever tool will let me get the job done easiest/best.

Most of my open software has been open for >1week - I generally forget to close stuff, and open more and more and more and more, im sure by tomorrow ill have a crap load more...IE...you can add the following to my above list that I have opened since and not closed.
* WinRAR (4 RAR, 2 ZIP)
* Windows Photo Viewer (4 Photos)
* Control Panel
* Task Manager
I guess it doesnt help that everything gets that cluttered that instead of trying to find it on my taskbar, I just open up a new instance of it. If I looked, as an example, I would probably find 3-4 of the same text document open.
More CPU cores and RAM just make us lazy, Its no ADHD, or this "DAD" - Its just plain and simple 'Bone Idleness' - Because our machines can handle more and more and more each and every day, we simply dont have to close anything to give something else enough memory to run.
Just added SAM Broadcaster to the list of open items! - I should probs close some of these, but now its come to my attention that all this is open...I'm gonna go ahead and see how long it takes for my PC to simply die...
