    No kidding...

    you'd think that before they went forward with this, not only would they have discussed the idea of an accessory rail, but what people would use it for. With the absence of a landslide of good ideas, I would have thought that the rail would have been killed before it was launched.

    But what do I know....

    More useful then any of the other ideas. Lord knows how many times I could have used a nice warm hot dog while sitting in traffic.

    How about a mount for a USB powered Turntable for those that want to take their vinyl collections with them.

    ...can't wait to use the next "word of the day" that means "useless, not wanted by the majority" in a sentence.
