[QUOTE="JMN, post: 330618, member: 8469"] Your arguments are the same that could have been said when we put the vulcanizers out to pasture. Using different tools and different materials does nothing to remove the art or the craft. In fact it makes you more adept to have a bigger toolbox of options to use as needed for each individual's situation. Digital is not about letting the computer do all the work in our industry any more than an accountant just puts feet on the desk since they no longer use a ledger book, hand written invoices, and US mail for each account but use excel, email, and Quicken. Digital will free you from the physical presence requirement. Scans don't need UPS boxes or delivery drivers. Digital will allow you to preview changes before you commit to them as a wax try in. How many times have you had to 'reshade' or move a midline? I'm not the oldest here by a long shot, nor the most trained by even a longer shot, but I can make things that are no longer needed as digitial options are now reducing those needs. When was the last time any of us handmade a telescopic RPD frame, copings, and all the rest of a full mouth reconstruction making PFM crowns and bridges for what was not on the RPD. For me? 2012ish. Why? It's not worth your time to do it that way anymore. You can disagree if you can get people to pay your rates, but you'll soon be looking for clients as the older docs who know that tech and not the new tech retire. I really want you to succeed, and my input here on your thread has been poor at best. I will be back. Right now I have the Amazing Mrs feeling like watching a movie and playing Scrabble. And she's just entirely too cute for color tv. [/QUOTE]
