I'm not so sure I'd bother. LR quit working on my laptop unless I uninstall 
it and then reinstall it now and then. At the moment it takes 50% of the CPU 
when I start it and never gets around to asking me if I want to do anything 
or not. It just hangs ... but hangs with 50% of the CPU.

On my desktop it seems to work fine, but my impression is that it is some 
pretty flaky hyped up stuff and I don't really dare commit anything 
important to it.

Photoshop still works like a champ. I only use Lightroom for my digital 
SLRs. It is definitely not to be recommended if you scan your images. Most 
of my work is scanned b/w.

Lightroom would probably be good for K-Mart or Walmart when you want to spit 
out scads of images without paying too much attention to any particular one 
of them.
