I would have agreed a few years ago but now with the advent of Drs. doing their in house restorations and a milling machine made by every manufacturer in the book. I don't think so.

I completely agree with this statement!
Some individuals are so set in their ways and refute change. THAT is the biggest learning curve to overcome for some people, not the technology.
In regards to Doug's statement, I'm sorry Doug but I have to disagree. I don't see digital technology being at fault for creating job loss or forcing companies out of business. Let's face it, technology...See more -

If you read my statement Shanda, I see it as greed also. Not so much the technology change. We adjust and adapt to changing technologies. We lose when it comes to greed and the almighty dollar.

My point of contention is greed.
