Just ordered the Minoura truing stand

Well, I got an amazon.com gift certificate for my b-day, and finally found something worth buying! Amazon is now stocking Nashbar's catalog, so I was able to get the Minoura Workman truing stand for a mere $25 (It was $40, minus $25 in gift certificate, plus $10 in tax and shipping)! I've heard good things about it here on the forums, so I figured, why not? I've gotta build up a wheel for my fixie, I have several that need truing, and some plans to rebuild some wheels. Just thought I'd mention that...Any tricks to using it, or is it really straight forward?
