Instructions

Things You'll Need:

1. Think about the child you are considering buying the computer for. Is she old enough to use it responsibly?

3. Understand that it is a real computer with color monitor, keyboard, floppy drive, 3 GB hard drive, 32 MB memory, 32x CD-ROM, fax/modem and speakers.

4. Consider the large amount of software the Barbie PC comes with: 12 Barbie software titles including Barbie Detective, Barbie Riding Club and Barbie Fashion Designer. It also includes Windows 98 and an encyclopedia, atlas, math program, keyboard program, Internet access software, a creative writing program and Cyber Patrol, which supervises children's Internet access.

5. Know that the system includes the Barbie digital camera and accompanying software.

on 1/19/2008 This is a very old article. The Barbie PC was out in 1999/2000. I bought one for my daughter back in 2000. We actually still have it and it still works. The company has since went bankrupt. You can read it about it here.
