Do you have any background info on it? 1930s I guess from her dress and hairstyle, maybe there's an expert on radios(?) who can provide more information?

This was going to be my last time, and I came ready to flame. Thanks Mark! Thanks jamiethehutt! One of the first things I noticed when looking a the hi-rez version was that she has a wedding band on. "Damn, she's married", I thought, even though she's very likely dead. I’ve probably checked this page 15 times looking for a link to that picture.

Is there a way to install a remote that will move my chair around? More importantly, can I somehow use a remote to install said device? Next up: remote controlled fork for easier eating.

For those of us who just want to look, it's nice to have DIY porn that doesn't involve hot-glueing lace to duck decoys for a change. Make is great even if you’re not a maker.

Called the Make subscription line and got a rude woman who told me that there was no such thing as a $24.95 subscription and that I had to call back in two days to get a refund. Called today and was told that the $24.95 subscription was from 2005 and they would have to refer me to corporate to see if I could get the $24.95 rate. I cancelled my subscription. I feel like they were On the Make, not Make. I followed the subscription link, subscribed and got a receipt for being charged $34.95, not $24.95.
