My husband was in need of a new Leatherman after his old one had been stolen from his car a few years ago. I decided to purchase this model after reading the reviews and comparisons. I also purchased the bit extension and the bit kit. I think the accessories will come in handy when we are traveling on our scooter with sidecar, you just never know when you need that handy tool.

My husband was impressed with the features and quality of this model. I was impressed that I was able to get a significant discount off retail on the Amazon site.

A friend of ours asked us to watch this with them over the weekend. Three months ago, another friend had had us watch Koyaanisqatsi with them. Make no mistake, they are definitely different versions on the same theme. We loved the Philip Glass music score to Koyaanisqatsi, but man, that movie is an hour longer than it should be. It was exhausting to watch the constantly repeated images and repeated takes of rolling clouds, traffic and assembly lines. My husband and I were rather shocked to see the exact same scenes replayed in Baraka. I kept wondering why there hadn't been a copyright infringement lawsuit, until I read that the same person had worked on both films.

What we enjoyed about Bakara was the superior filming technology, as well as the variety of architecture and cultures portrayed in this version. I was particularly struck with the beautiful religious buildings, and the cultural practices such as the chanting and most notably the cremation scenes from India.

What was particularly annoying were all the scenes that were pretty much image for image taken from Koyaanisqatsi. The rolling clouds, the long segments showing people staring at the camera, the assembly line scenes, the scenes of the streets with the traffic filmed in time-lapse. My husband and I couln't believe how similar the two films were. I am sure that it wouln't have taken such a negative twist if we hadn't seen Koyaanisquatsi first, but alas we did. But yes, they are pretty much the same, there is still the clear message of a disintegration of humanity, and loss of spiritualism. I agree that the message is important. I think we just felt cheated by the fact that they are marketing this as something completely new, and it is clearly not.

Does what I need it to do and pretty quickly. Granted the site I put in only had 46 pages. So I can't comment on larger sites yet.

The inn keepers are friendly. We particularly enjoyed the eggs and sausage breakfast. The guest rooms have a photo album that we enjoyed looking at. Which chronicles the restoration of the home.

Fun place to stay, if we happen to be in town again. We'll definitively stay there. The dog is fun to play with too. They where nice enough to get us dinner reservations too.

If your looking for a cheap place to sleep at night in Teton Village. This is a safe bet.

Overall is was ok, maybe it was just what we ordered that I didn't like.

Not bad for a new add-on

Not something you'll need very often, but when you do. Man, what a life saver. More so for PPC Mac Users.

I had this film on an old VHS tape and have enjoyed it many times over the years. It has been on a list I keep of movies I own that I want to upgrade to DVD format, this fall I finally purchased this little gem. The cast and performances on this production are superb. What was of particular wonder to me is the clarity of the film print in this DVD version. I was simply in awe at the detail I could observe in the costumes etc., such an amazing improvement over the old video! The sound was impressive as well. The richly orchestrated soundtrack as well as the spoken dialog were clear and full. In conclusion, it was totally worth the investment in this DVD edition, I will enjoy it for many years to come.
