A strange little side quest
Between one round of How to Make Brownie and the next, this is worth knowing: Reader Rabbit's 1986 arrival was part of a major expansion of educational computer software before the CD-ROM boom of the 1990s. That is only half the story. Barbie Fashion Designer became a major software hit in 1996, selling more than 500,000 copies in two months and proving there was a large audience for fashion-focused computer play. That gives How to Make Brownie a little more company than it first appears to have.
