I think there is a lot of truth there.
I have thousands of vacation photos from a decade of traveling the world, online and on my computer. Know how many I look at? Whichever ones are sitting in the folder that my computer background scrolls through. I've been thinking of having a coffee table book made up of the best ones, with little blurbs about the picture, just so they get looked at once in a while.
As far as film, the last time I used a regular SLR was when I went to Iceland in 2007, those pictures just have a special something about them, even if my P&S or DSLR takes much better images. Dang near took it with me when I went back this summer, just didn't have the luggage space for anything but the P&S.
