Since I will soon have the D300 in hand, the question becomes what do I
do with my Nikon N90s? Is there any application where it is handy to
use film over digital?

Long Exposure - although film has reciprocity issues, it
doesn't suffer from noise in long exposures. Digital noise
can be reduced with dark-frame subtraction, but that doubles
your exposure time, so reduces the number of shots you can
get in a session.
Ultra Wide Angle (If you already have a sub 20mm lens, and
you don't do a lot of ultrawide angle, scanning 35mm frames
is a lot cheaper than buying an ultrawide lens for DX
format, or buying a full-frame DSLR - my Film camera pretty
much has an 18mm lens on it full-time now)
Art - I love the super-grainy look that Kodak 3200 B&W gives.
Some subjects are also rendered nicer IMO on film - for
example Velvia gives remarkable saturation, but still
manages to capture subtle tone differences. Things like
sunsets, flowers, machinery, IMO benefit from the Velvia
treatment. Also, personally, I prefer the way B&W films
render images vs digital B&W.
I still shoot film, but a lot less than I used to.

If there is no longer any use for it, who would buy it?

I last used my Canon Elan back in 2002, which was the last time that I shot
film. I think it comes down to whether you think the money in your wallet
will look better than the camera on your shelf. If you think you might want
to shoot film for a certain effect, or for the sake of nostalgia, then hang
onto the camera. I bought some film recently to shoot in some antique
cameras. Might run a roll through the Elan as well. Especially sine I have
a pinhole body cap on order that will fit the Elan, in addition to my 40D.

Very well, does the term 'anal retentive' ring a bell?
Is there any use for film cameras anymore
