If you were a Dentist you would pay around $120,000 (from memory) for
one of those cool robotic chairs. Without one... well put it this way, I
think we would all agree that the robotic chairs are the only fun part
about going to a dentist. If you compare the price of development
software, and consider the profit you will make by using it, I think
most would have to say in comparison it is a very reasonable industry to
be in. Sure a dentist doesn't need to upgrade his chair every 18 months,
but the chair is only a very small part of his work tools.
Don't get me wrong, I love getting a bargain but I also realise the
revenue that a investment such as the latest development tools can pull.
And then of course there is the fact that you don't have to upgrade if
there is no benefit to you in doing so.
Just my 2 cents.
