10 or 11 years? Seems like lots longer than that; how time flies! The
manufacturers' rush to crank out new models telescopes my sense of
time. There have been sooooooo many models produced since then that it
seems it should be decades since the Animas came out.

But when I stop to think of it, the RPM was debut'd by EJ at the '93
Worlds rodeo competion (gold medal; yay EJ!) and on the market in
plastic in '94, followed shortly by two de-tuned versions as entry
level boats: the Animas and the Piedra.
