Computer connected toys were starting to get pretty good in the late 90s. I had the LEGO Mindstorms set when I was younger, but what else was there? I recently found out about the IR programmable Talk With Me Barbie and after being given one and seeing that no one else had shown one working on the internet, I thought I would see if I could make it work and what it is like.

Here are some ways to help me make more videos!
