just saw a lighter - think it was colibri - in CA that had this laser along the side and all you had to do was put your finger in the laser and it ignited the lighter - pretty snazzy - don't know how much they cost.

al'thor: yeah i've seen those. pretty trippy, eh? i've got 3 colibri lighters (only one that works, though), and they're pretty pricey. well, pricey for me, whose income is currently $0 (jumping through hoops with social security for disability).

the firebird series of colibri is their least expensive, but the $12 firebird i got 2 years ago is the only one of the 3 of them that's working.

anyway, i was hoping to find something cheaper than that, something in the five bucks or less range but that had an easier touch to it like a colibri or tiger torch does -- even a torch like you can pick up at a gas station or such.
