Yes there will be adapters, but will there be adapters for the adapters?
Even my 25 year old ME Super has a microprocessor, they don�t get very worn by use or age. The only moving parts of a dslr are similar to film cameras, and we know that mirrors and shutter last for decades.

It is not like you will wake up one day and everything will be obsolete you will have enough time to prepare for a change and adapt.
If they stop making compactflash cards you can use SD to compactflash adapter. If they stop making SD cards there will be some new
adapter, etc. If they stop supporting D in raw converters you will know that as soon as you pick up a new converter and see that D
support has been dropped, you can then convert all your RAW files to something like DNG and continue. If they stop making CD and
DVD readers you will know that and you can copy all the data to brand new 5TB hard drive which you got for $50 after rebate. I am
more afraid that my D will stop working after the warranty expires because of all the electronics inside and that it will be too
expensive to repair it.

I�m not very worried about my D. What worries me is the changing standards, like CF card and data formats. I think the camera may easily outlast the different Mac or MS operating systems, file formats and RAW converter compatibility of Photoshop..

Bill, Your comment worries me since I'm considering a D. The
implication
of your statement seems to be that the D has been around long enough to
have some samples that are worn out. Is that really what you meant,
that
the D, and, I suppose, other cameras of its type, may have a short life
span. How long has the D been out - a couple of years? And, even if
it's
too soon for these cameras to be worn out (maybe that term needs
clarification), how long can they be expected to last under average
circumstances? What about when used a lot - say 100 exposures a day?
Is
that a lot with these puppies?
I'd really like to get some idea of how long these things can be expected to last..

Thr Ds hasn't been around long enough to have been worn out. Check to make sure there are no signs of it having been dropped.
