hollycraft's Full Review: Barbie PC
HEADS UP!
Per the story on WCVB-TV Boston tonight (12/19/00), people who ordered the Barbie PC (and, presumably, the Hot Wheels PC) will not get their money back, and evidently have no recourse.

The company (Patriot Computer) has gone belly up, their website is gone, and Mattel says that since THEY didn't receive their licensing fees from Patriot, THEY won't be giving any refunds on it, either.

The full story can probably be found online at www.wcvb.com

(I have to pad the above with more words to make the Epinions.com robot happy, so I am trying to think of more to fill in here...but all the info you need is above)
