So, /p/. Im bored and will put a couple questions to you because im curious.

First of all, what is better, an image where the entire thing is in focus, or one where the foreground or background or whatever is not the subject is out of focus?

Secondly, i have a prety nice camera, its a kind of old one and it has lots of nifty things like different lenses and stuff you can put on it. Should i take pictures with it, or should i get a new fancy digital camera?

This is very important.

Depends. You simply don't shoot portrait and landscape the same way. Though, usually you want the subject to be in focus and everything that's not important to be out of focus.

Film SLRs are good, don't lose it. I suggest you run a film or two through it and then decide. But again, it depends on where you're standing and what you're aiming for.

I actualy just realized something now, most places that develop film will put it on a disk for you. I was mostly going for the digital because it would be easyer than scaning them.

But now i dont know.

I think im gona walk around and take pictures of things ^_^

Just keep in mind that the places that put it on a disc for you do it at shitty resolution. I.e., ~1MP, usually, in my experience. If you want it at anything higher, you'll have to either scan it yourself or give them a fuckton of money for a higher res scan.

For a high res scan, (approx. a 8x12 print @ 300dpi) of slide film they develop at Precision Camera, it's like 8 bucks. That made me a sad panda. :(

Best advice I've heard in a while. It's really only personal preference whether you use film or digital, so just have fun with what you've got.

Keep your film camera and try it out, first. Find a film that works for your purposes and give it at least a few trips out. If you enjoy it, keep the film/slide camera. If you find yourself leaning more towards digital after using the older camera, then switch to that.

I find I like film SLR's better, but i've nothing against digital and it's a matter of what works for each individual person.
