A Time Division Multiple Access mobile station architecture consuming less power and random access memory is presented herein. The method may include the steps of executing a test program on a target machine architecture, with a test program producing a first output, executing an emulator on the target machine architecture, and the emulator executing the test program under emulation, with the test program producing a second output. The re-writable optical media is initialized using either user data or initialization patterns in a background operation to allow user interaction with the optical media during initialization. When protracted, the top member and the bottom member define a gap therebetween so that cargo to be secured can be tied to the top member.
