Device holder is nice... Rest is pretty much useless!

I have worked on them for decades... They used to be Comfortable and fun to work on... They are not in my opinion any longer... Airlines have been come the modern day Time Capsule. I prefer the old days with the 727's, 737-200's... Overall built much better and like Timex (they can take a licken and keep on tickin' "
.....Something about polishing a turd.
