I see a lot of guys carrying a MagLite. One the other day was about 2' long I think. Missed getting a pic of it but here's some SureFire promo comparing theirs to MagLite.

How about this one ?



Two thoughts on the lights:

There is the old American marketing pitch:  Bigger is better

There is the furniture designer (Mies Van Der Rohe) pitch: less is more

The six or so people I know who look stuff up ....ARE DOING SO AT FLEA MARKETS.

As I walk around in the morning before I set up, these folks are looking stuff up on eBay completeds to see if
they want to buy them at the flea for resale on eBay.

The BEST of these (from what they tell me) is the Iphone. There are of course others who provide this service as well..that is looking stuff up on the internet, and NOT through Wi-Fi.

I bought a smart phone from Virgin and a $25 card to use with it. I wasn't satisfied with the interface or the screen size and so I returned the phone for full refund at Best Buy, but I was out the $25 airtime.

Personally I can't justify the $50 to $60 (or whatever it is per month for the service). I have a cell phone, but I only use it for outgoing calls primarily (not as my main phone) and it only costs me $10 a month for the little I use it.

There are times I wish I COULD look something up, but overall, not a big loss not to have one.

Here's another thread on the topic of crowds and prices.

RFR asked this question in another thread, so thought I would address it in a new thread where it
wouldn't detract from original thread subject.

Before December, 2010 I would have said "no". Now I'm thinking they do cover (and exceed) the fees owed to them.
With 10 x 10 lkrs (which might rent for $80 a month) and with 2 to 3 months of back fees owed (plus other charges) the total they owe MIGHT be $300 to $350 (tops).

I see a lot of 10x10s going in the $500 to $600 range here in California, and that's for an average lkr. A "star" will bring more than that.

The funny thing is that the "excess" is supposed to go back to the lkr owner. So If they owed $400 and it sells for $800, they get $400 "profit". That's if they can be found. Many can't and the money goes into a county fund here in CA.

I use the 400/800 example because a couple of years ago I paid for a great looking tool lkr..yep..$800. The mgr told me before I left the premises that the guy owed $400.

A week or so later the prop mgr called me and gave me the guy's number. He wanted to buy something back. When I called him, I told him that item had already been sold. He was quite cocky and mentioned the $400 he reaped and said "Good luck selling the tools. You already know my name has been etched in all of them." I had sold some of them already so I informed him, "That didn't seem to matter to the people who bought the Macs and Snap-Ons. Those wrenches work no matter whose name is on them." He just hung up. Oh well, again, pay your bills.

That IS funny !  I'm a big eBay user (and fan except for a couple of policies) so I really enjoyed it ! 
 
Now, to take it a step further, if you read a lot of posts here on the forum, watch the video and
look at 1:35 to about 1:45 and see if any of the lyrics and images related to our forum threads.

The other thing I was impressed with was the professional way this video was done. Some young people these
days are very talented !
