This reminds me of the gamblers that I know who only tell me when  
they win. I always ask to see their books on total investment in  
their sport - they never want to discuss - the run of losses before  
their big win.

Add up everything that you've spent over the years, every piece of  
software, every computer upgrade, every megabyte of memory and  
storage, all the bodies, scanners, I mean absolutely everything that  
has gone into your digital photography - look at what it's worth if  
you sold it today at market prices. Include your life time spent  
scanning. The differential would buy one hell of a lot of slide film  
and processing. YMMV ;~) but my digital life makes no economic sense  
what-so-ever.
