Hey Lemper..cycling the gasper off and on is a grrrreat idea! BTW..I tried this magical feat on my 777 today
the outlet doesn't provide enough airflow. Setting this task up was kind of fun though. My F/O, who doesn't understand these finer points of flight, couldn't figure out what I was doing and actually asked me if I was trying to install a lightbulb in there. Actually, come to think of it, it would be a great place for a second map light...
