Karl,

<<<I believe the laser dental drill will be a success but as with most new technologies it may have some bugs.>>>

Karl,

Just wondering -- where do you draw this optimistic viewpoint from? Do you have any experience with lasers? How about dentistry -- any experience there?

I have experience with lasers as I presently own 4 of them. Lasers are fragile instruments, expensive to maintain. The dental drill users I have spoken to are also experienced with other lasers and they indicate the dental drill fiber is in their opinion poorly designed and not reliable. Much worse than the other lasers they work with. While they were optimistic before they bought the dental drill, they are now disappointed. Given the choice over again, knowing what they know now, they would not buy another dental drill.

The other dentists I have spoken to about the dental drill -- who don't own dental drills, indicate while the idea is good, it is about 35k overpriced. I would agree, and with fiber problems it is not ever worth buying.

Karl, I present an informed opinion -- how about you? Do you have any knowledge in this industry, or did you buy some stock and now you post all kinds of "bright" viewpoints because you want the stock to go up?

Thanks in advance for sharing.

Cheers Steve
