Some obvious points: 1) Many on this list are techie types, at least in term os enjoying technology for its own sake. For these, the *istD is a wonderful thing in itself, and we are experiencing "new toy syndrome".
2) For anyone that has some understanding of chemical based photography, it is tempting to try to get some understanding of the digital process. Also, most of the really technical threads seem to involve folks that are IT professionals, or at least understanding software at the coding level. (which no longer includes me, although I wrote far more Fortran code that I want to think about). 3) Digital opens up a whole world of post processing not previously available to most, especially with regard to color. Therefore, tech talk about Photoshop is always welcome, useful, and an integral part of 21st century photography.
