I will probably not be able to persuade my wife to stop using her Espio and
switch to digital - she loves the camera!

I will still be loyal - my stable now comprises four Pentax bodies, including
the MZ-S, and 8/9 lenses, and I will still shoot film as long as I can buy it.
However, I see myself moving gradually away from wet darkroom work, and
concentrating on improving my digital printing skills and capabilities. Might
have to go to an A3 printer, after all!
I suppose like many nowadays, I get the standard set of prints from the lab,
but use these essentially as reference prints, and work on the keepers
digitally - it's quite challenging, and there is quite a lot of satisfaction in
turning out a good quality digital print. Maybe not quite so much as slopping
around in smelly chemicals, though...
