I've simply decided that I am going to like Lightroom (I do use
LightZone as well for editing. They work well together since LightZone
doesn't do any cataloging worth mentioning.

The library has always been easy to find and work with. I've followed
Wade's initial advice and dedicate an external drive to the Lightroom
library. It makes it easy to duplicate onto another drive for backups.

I just bought a book for myself to read on the couch over the holidays.
