There very well might have been two versions. I'm sure the musical version cost a little more. I don't suppose you still have the box?! ;)

I am not 100% sure. I will have to check in my garage... :) i am leaning towards no, but it is worth a shot to look.

Wow! I was trying to remember exactly when the internet became so popular. It has only been the last 17 years? It seems so hard to remember what we did without all this information @ our fingertips...

Well....that link that BIG posted was from 1994 and the internet seemed to be pretty young then :shock: I really don't know. I don't think it was around when I was in college...

1994, eh? That's after Al Gore invented Electricity but before his endeavor to eliminate dimpled chads...

There very well might have been two versions. I'm sure the musical version cost a little more. I don't suppose you still have the box?! ;)

I am not 100% sure. I will have to check in my garage... :) i am leaning towards no, but it is worth a shot to look.




I couldn't find the box so I guess we will never know.. Sorry. :(

You might be able to figure it out by looking at the wording on the base plate of the toaster too. Look for the teeny-tiny print and see what it says...

I must be ahead of the curve. We were on AOL when it had per minute charges. I had friends in HS (that's the 70's folks) Who showed me how to baud on the phone companies net. 8-) :roll: :wink: It helped my step-dad was a phone (AT&T pioneer)company engineer. I think my first modem had two cans and some string!! :lol:
