Techno Dentist
Yowsers! Been about a decade since my last trip to the dentist. All I know is after four shots of Novocain and an accidental drilling of my cheek in effort to get my wisdom tooth out, I’d say ten years isn’t long enough. But this trip back proved to be much less painless and even a tad impressive.
Apparently the world of digital storage isn’t the only thing that’s advanced since the late 90’s. I had four x-rays taken of my teeth all in a matter of minutes. And all were available for my viewing pleasure instantly. That’s because it’s all done digitally now. Heck, I didn’t have to wear the lead vest since the exposure to radioactivity is minimal per the new approach to taking pictures.
The whole teeth cleaning process doesn’t seem to have changed much, however. Still an awkward blend of picking, probing, sucking, spraying and polishing. I hate that part. And by no means would I ever let just anyone take a stab at my teeth if they didn’t have a proven record of happy patients.
While your flash drive project may not be thought of as potentially painful as heading to the dentist, it should be approached with the same precaution. I’ve seen too many folks fall victim to the el cheapo flash drives floating around the market. What isn’t common knowledge is that some unscrupulous companies are selling drives manufactured with recycled NAND Flash memory. That means unpredictable performance and sometimes even a defective product altogether. So we always urge any cautious clients to take a gander at our Kudos section. We don’t find it easy to toot our own horn which is why we let our clients do it for us!
I must admit I was tensing up in the dentist chair today. If you would’ve been in my shoes way back when the repeated tug of the wisdom tooth wrench sent me into shock (this was after two hours mind you!), you’d be amazed that I even bothered to ever schedule another visit. However, I took a deep breath and recalled that my wife had been delighted with her trips to the same dentist many times before. That’s all it took to calm my nerves.
My hope is that if you’re out in internetland looking for a branded flash drive company worth your trust, you somehow stumble onto CFgear.com. It would be 100% truthful for me to say the company is like family to me because, well, it is. My sister, brother, cousin and most recently nephew are all on board. Which is why the chances of your project being discussed at the next holiday gathering are as good as me heading back to the same dentist that sent me away smiling today. Great service seems to lead us to great clients. For that, I’m “grateful”.
