I love that your daughter played with it. My kids usually take over the vintage toys I find as well. Maybe toy companies need to take a cue from that.Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03119827816698009731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26874882.post-22535864315635257852015-04-09T13:32:50.355-04:002015-04-09T13:32:50.355-04:00I used to have this.

Turns out it was neither. So, I still have no idea why we owned it, but I do remember pushing that lever and watching the tapes spin.Chris Wuchtehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09804769839792219280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26874882.post-68104024986530572412015-04-09T09:15:22.439-04:002015-04-09T09:15:22.439-04:00That toy computer probably works better than the a...That toy computer probably works better than the actual Dell desktop computer in my basement that I've had since 2004.Phillyradiogeekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06898493001431352624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26874882.post-69724938576341319322015-04-09T03:46:27.791-04:002015-04-09T03:46:27.791-04:00I spent two days earlier this week trying to find ...I spent two days earlier this week trying to find pictures of this toy, as I had it as a kid, and found a couple of scanty pics of it, thinking it was a Barbie brand toy, and then I clicked on this blog and it's the first post! Weird coincidence! I also had a tan desk that came with mine, and the chair could swivel between the two if you placed them just so. I don't know why, but this was one of my favorite Barbie accessories and I played with it for hours. I ended up giving the set to a little girl I babysat for later, and I kind of wish I had held onto these. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
