The greatest advantage of film may well be the fact that it imposes 
dicipline. No spray and pray for the film shooter. When I last shot film, my 
primary camera was a Hasselblad with a 12 exp. back. I find with digital I 
shoot more, but not near as many as most I know.

My buddy and I have discussed this at length.... our conclusion is that the 
well in excess of 500GB of images we have so carefully preserved on digital 
medium, will find its way into the landfill.

No one wants all your photos, even your ex, current spouse, kids, nephews, 
grandkids, etc.

Can you imagine viewing 5-10K images?  25K?  250K?  Would take way past my 
boredom point.....

I think the solution is to put everything on paper, then light the pyre at 
the appropriate time.

While you bless this earth with your presence, and desire to keep your old 
images, backup often, and with current technology....

But don?t fool yourself...... your kids don?t care/have the time.

I now have the majority of our family photos, and most are digital, and one 
day my children and grandchildren will want to see them.
