You're probably right. Not arguing that.
I suppose I just never really notice what the cost of film totals to, since I just usually buy regular old kodak bw 400CN at 4 bucks for a pack of three rolls down here at the local pharmacy(can't be beat at that price, IMO), and then get negs processed at wal mart (1.50 per roll). They do as good a job as any when you're just processing negs. Prints blow the big one though. I suppose it would come to a lot more if i'd actually get prints everytime, but I never do, which would probably not apply to this situation.
So yeah, I suppose digital is a worthwhile investment. Hell, I've got a digital PnS myself, but I saw 'as a hobby' and I figured he'd be looking for something a little more serious. Then, after you're more familiar with photography in general, and more in control of a camera, he can consider a more advanced digital camera, or film.
Played with a D40 today. Excellent little camera, save for the kit lens feeling a bit too flimsy. I'm sure that something like that would be a great step up for OP after a bit of shooting with lesser cameras.
