HUMP DAY TIDBITS
Looking for the latest toy for your rugrats?
How about an ATM machine, just like Mommy and Daddy use? I kid you not, for a mere $39.95, Little Heather can have her very own ATM Bank: This at-home ATM is an excellent way to learn about saving money. Create your own secret code for access and keep your allowance safe from little brothers and sisters!
Short on the rent? Ask your kid for a loan.
For $99.99, how about this FLY Pentop Computer: FLY Pentop Computer is computer power on paper! Its power comes from an optical scanner that sees everything you scan and write on special dot-matrix FLY paper. It's got a brain (a built-in computer processor) and it's got a voice. It's even got its own language. If you've got a math problem FLY pentop computer can solve it as a calculator. You can schedule anything, and FLY pentop computer will remind you. You can draw drums and keyboards and record your own tunes. Play games with your friends anywhere, any time! Plus, you can load FLY pentop computer with FLYware cartridges to add new games and adventures, sold separately.
Makes me nostaglic for Christmases past. Remember Sea Monkeys? From TV Cream [which appears to be British]: A hundred memorable toys from years gone by.
