Barbie's next profession is....A COMPUTER ENGINEER!!!!!
The popular vote went to Computer Engineer Barbie, who will be launched in the fall of 2010 looking "geek chic" in a binary code-patterned T-shirt, pink-framed glasses, a pink laptop and a Bluetooth earpiece.
Today is the second time that I've ever warmed up to Barbie. The day that I put this on my Christmas list (and did not receive it) was the first.
In like 2002 or so, I found a lot of these selling for $150 a pop (tower only). While I didn't get one, a friend did. Decent machine. If I remember correctly, it was a Celeron 333 with 256MB of RAM. Perfect for installing Barbie GNU/Linux on.
