Barbie, the toy doll that is a perennial favourite among girls, has been assigned a new career - computer engineer. But how accurate is the glam-looking tech support Barbie compared to real life?

You mean she hasn't got a thing in her head and her partner's a bit put upon? ;)

That looks like a blue screen of death. If that’s what she’s grinning about, then she has no chance.

Nice touch with the pink glasses. Every tech support person should have pink glasses.

I did not even know Barbie was short sighted. I hope that she is safe to drive.

Techy types wear specs. Stereotypes FTW.

I really want a pink laptop and a "Hello Kitty" phone, but I'm worried my clients might not take me seriously. I couldn't go as far as pink specs though. That's just a bit too camp for me.

I think she would do quite well in my office. She obviously knows nothing and is just all image with no substance. Therefore she should be middle to upper management material at least. :lol:

If one is diving so close to the limits that +/- 1% will make a difference then the error has already been made.
