I have recently been thinking about my CEREC experience over the years.

What has changed:

Don't some of you just miss CEREC 3 days?!?!?!
Oh, the nostalgia! only two dimensions, multiple windows, all those dotted lines, and only Correlation!

Most of you who got your feet wet with the CEREC 3 had good days and bad days, and none of us would EVER go back. With the addition of CEREC 3D, biogeneric inlays/onlays and crowns, buccal bite, form tools, how easy catalogs stitch, and the Bue cam - wow, what fantastic software and hardware upgrades we have seen over the years.

What hasn't changed:

The way CEREC has brought me many memories with the best of friends. I can look back on those CEREC 3 days when i first met many of you on various email lists, and easily say it was years before we met face-to-face. I still remember meeting both Rich Rosenblatt and Mark Fleming in a hotel in Chicago about two to three years after meeting them online, and that night trying to eat a whole chicken that had to have been part turkey, it was so huge!!!! My friends have been the same great friends over the years and many of you are new friends.

What will change:

Cerecdoctors has played such a huge role in CEREC education, and it isn't very old!!!! Every one of us look forward to see how big this will get and how many people we can help make this a very rewarding technology. My CEREC circle of friends will get bigger and bigger every year.

So, I'm really excited to see what the future holds - both software and friendships.
