Yeah that would make it more attractive!
So are they collectable? :)
As what? ;) If they had a serial port, they might make a terminal,
rather than *be* terminal. Or you could load one up with a PDP-8
emulator...
So, did you pick up some "Hello Kitty" stickers to customize the box
a bit more?
Sometimes, you can find some real gems in toys--such
as the TI "Speak-
n-Spell" and some kids' digicams (particuarly if you can get them on
closeout). Other times, well, it's just junk...
I had Speak-n-Spell when I was a kid. Learned how to spell on it and how to
talk like Stephen Hawkins :)
Unfortunately, my brother got hold of it when we were a few years older and
took a hammer to it :(
I wonder what the "Ken" PC looked like...
Cheers,
Chuck
