    DateAugust 6, 2009

    Lighters' Encores
    Leo remarks that these days when the audience want an encore in a concert, instead of holding up their lighters, they hold up their cellphones.  Gone are the Zippo and Ronson lighters, although the companies are still around.  Zippo even makes a Virtual Zippo Lighter app on the iPhone, as Leo demonstrates, along with the iHandy Carpenter.  Video clip from odtv.me.



    Leica Distos Abound
    John Boline, from Elgin, Illinois, is a land surveyor and uses the Leica Disto (Episode 880) all the time, and assures Dick and Leo that many a surveyor or contractor owns one or more of the Leica Distos.
