It's the old chestnut of film vs digital. Unfortunately, it does seem out of date. The points raised do have merit, but does it make the author sound as though he's pursued all options with an open mind? I'm not so sure.
It's true that digital technology is beginning to reach a plateau where new models arent such a giant leap from last years model (d1 vs d2, then d2 vs d3. or 10D verses 30D, then 30D verses 50D for examples)....similar is happening in the computing world.
Even a this evening I was talking to the in-law about my F5 and should I keep the film stock etc. For now I want to hang on to it. Unfortunately for me, justifying this becomes becomes less straight forward as my digital kit gets better. I've been thoroughly impressed by my D2, with picture taking speed matching the F5, but post process out striping the F5 by miles.
The question is a matter of how you use your pictures too, not just storage.

I love film, and hope to continue using some, but it is because i enjoy it. I don't 'poo poo' either medium, because both have there strenghts and weaknesses.

Embrace technology or be buried underneath it. Move with the times and form educated balanced opinions. In my view, outdated and narrow minded views really don't help encourage people to take photographs.
