This thing has been like one on my kids (only older!) and I have owned her since before I got married (which was over 16 years ago!).
I will finish the development and she will once again scare the absolute s
t out of me - lets set 2013 as the year of her return.
Here is a pic of how she looked "in the day" circa 1998!
