Several years ago I used to have Schrade multi-function tool, but lost it at an RC flying field. That company seems to have been recently acquired. About a year ago I got a LeathermanSuper Tool 200, which I prefer because of the more comfurtable handle design. The mechanism for unlocking blades is easy and effective.
Incidentally, I've had a strong appreciation for multi-tools since boy scouts, and I find a sense of manly pride in using a good knife. Be sure you get a good sheath to show it off on your belt!
First a little background: I'm a teenager, and for the past year or so I've been using a Virgin Mobile pay-as-you-go phone I got for Christmas last year. It's treated me well, but lately I've found myself using more call time and it's more economic for me to use a calling plan than the VM $.25/min.
So, I looked around online for the best deals, because of course not having a highly paying job and being in school, money is of value to me. I compared some companies at letstalk.com, and liked what I saw. I spoke with my brother in college a couple hours away, and we decided to go in on a shared calling plan. I don't need to be real specific but we got a really good deal IMHO.
Now onto portability: Both my brother and I would like to keep our old phone numbers, so I checked with both my old and new providers to comfirm portability. Interestingly, when I placed the order I was told that only one phone number can be ported at a time for an order, so as recommended by the representative the two phones I ordered were actually originally purchased as two separate plans. When they arrive in a couple days, I'll have to call the new provider to switch back to the family plan. I was assuered there would be no penalty or difficulty in doing so.
I'm surprised that there was no integration for the porting of multiple phones at the same time, i.e. for family plans. Also, the online order form was slightly ambiguous about porting, so to play it safe I ordered by phone. As great as the internet is, the assurance of talking to a person was what I needed in this case.

Or would it be a one followed by the valuation?
