Comments from users: I'm still amazed at the amount of
excellent data you have provided on the CD. I would have
given a months pay to have this when I was an engineer for
United Airlines at the San Francisco Maintenance Base. I was
an alternate for the Standards Engineer and when he went on
vacation or a trip, I was responsible for finding all the
hardware that anyone needed. John: Just wanted to send you a note of appreciation for your Mechanics Toolbox program. I haven't worked "hands on" on our company aircraft for a number of years, having been relegated to running a computer, but I keep my hand in working on a couple of classic and antique machines. I obtained a copy of Mechanics Toolbox about a year ago specifically for the manual on the Eiseman Mag, and to be honest I really hadn't looked at the rest of the program. While cleaning up my system in
preparation to being put out to pasture I finally remedied
that omission. What a little jewel! The
information contained equal or exceeds my four foot shelf of
reference material, and it's up to date and instantly
accessible. I will certainly order an updated copy
when I am re established and I am sure that it will become a
reference of choice. Thanks again |
