Anyone cross train on an old-school Nordic Trac?

During my run last night I “ran” across a Nordic Trac Pro CC ski trainer sitting on the curb with a FEE sign, so I finished up, grabbed the car and picked it up. It looks unused and in great shape. Interested in your thoughts on how worthwhile it is for cross training this off-season? I generally run outside all winter, toss the bike on the trainer, and hit the gym instead of pool until January. So do any of you use a Nordic Trac? Thanks!

I have one. I mainly use it for warming up prior to lifting. It is also good for when it is really crappy out and I’m sick of the trainer. For the serious cabin fever days, I have considered pairing it up with my son’s old air rifle for a DIY basement biathlon.
