Welcome back!  For old brain cells, try ginkgo biloba.  It is sort of a 
cerebral fsck.

I'm slowly catching up with you.

CrossOver Office is not yet compatible with Photoshop: 
http://www.codeweavers.com/compatibility/browse/group/?app_parent=2258 ; 
so it is unlikely WINE will be any better.
Lightroom and OnOne4 are not listed.  I bought XOver and use it for 
WordPerfect XIII and ABBYY Fine Reader OCR.
It will not run my scanner via Fine Reader, but Fine Reader will import 
a graphic file and process it.

I have a SuSE 10.3 DVD from Linux Pro magazine and will eventually get 
around to installing the 64 bit version on my Core 2 Duo box; the 32 bit 
version runs nicely.
