That's why I intend to be shooting film for the foreseeable future.
Those are good reasons (I read them as "I know how to get the results I like", "It doesn't generate enough income to justify expensive new equipment", "I like doing it this way"; not that that's complete).
I've been developing software professionally since 1969; the first few months of that first part-time job paid for my first SLR, and, arguably, the programming work has barely been keeping up with the photo bills ever since :-). But I've found that digital printing, and then digital capture, have massively revitalized my interest in photography. Then again, I've always loved computers, I play around with them when I'm not working with them. This also means that the home computer costs don't mostly get charged against "photography"; except a few printers and some of the storage.
