All that's assuming that you don't already own, or want to own a
computer. Remember a computer can not only take the place of a Slide
viewer/projecter, but an entire darkroom. A good quality enlarger could
cost at least as much as a mid range computer system, before investing
in enlarging lenses. In addition, a computer can be used as a
communications device, a movie viewer, it gives access to libraries of
information and data, not to mention pornography and cat pictures...
I suppose that Pornography and Cat pictures are the same thing to some
people, especially if they're Japanese

Of course, you have to factor in the cost of the computer, storage, monitor,

I think digital is still cheaper than film, but far from "free".
Someday I might figure it all out... maybe.

It just occurred to me that I spent more in both nominal and inflation adjusted
terms on my last purchased Pentax LX during the film era, than I did for my
K-5II, true I bought both used, but still price per frame shot is much lower
with the K-5II in fact it's essentially free, almost literally.
