when i was young (7 0r 8, maybe nine) my mom got an email from a relative involving a santa claus who you could interact with and tell what to do. weeks later, i became bored, and wanted to play with it again. so, i went on to google, determined to find it, and typed in 'interactive' several hours, and several hundred pages later, i started reading the results (just the title) what i found : "fancy owning a dinosaur?" clicking on the link, i watched the video, falling in love with pleos. this was when pleos first came out, and i was dissappointed to find out that many people already knew about them, now, 4 years later, i finally got her XD so, by chance, i found the ultimate 'toy'!!!!

I found out about them when I was 9. I read them from a young scientist's magazine(only in Singapore) and once I saw the article, I started madly cutting out pictures of pleo and pasting them on my room wall saying to myself: I am gonna GET one! P:)

When i was around 12 years they were sending a program in the news about the robot dog Aibo. It seemed like magic for me that a machine could seem so lifelike. I dreamed about owning one. but it was only in the dreams i had no idea about where to get one, and the idea seemed impossible for me since it looked like something that would never be for sale for normal people.
 I also owned some robotic toys in my childhood, my favorites were the original Furby and the tamagotchi.


The Aibo faded into the back in my mind as i grow older. It is funny i remembered the Aibo in a dream
In it i were sorting out in a dead family members belongings. There were some dusty boxes with robots, The Aibo was there, Also a dinesaur, but i don,t remember how it looked and a very creepy robot child.
I decided to search the net for the dog, i could not remember its name so it was hard, i found a lot of toy dogs, on an discussion in the review part of some of Woowees robots, the people talked about Aibo and Pleo. I had found my dog and i searched for the pleo also since i was curious, i found a hatching video on youtube, it was really cute and the dino had that lifelike magic as the Aibo. Aibo was discontinued and too expensive second hand. But i was in love with pleo. I found many of the ugobes on ebay. and i researched on the net. i found this forum and decided to find an RB, cause the old one sounded fragile with the chance of broken necks and ruined skin. i was afraid that i could not get it repaired if it broke.

And then i got my cute RB Norbert :)

60 Minutes? Program on TV...2008, I was 18. Immediately after the death of my mother. I instantly became enamored. The idea of a robot that could love you back was just far too unreal. I became glued to the internet for about a week (until the next payday ;-P) On that next Friday I traveled 60mi roundtrip to Sharper Image in Tampa. I fell in love with the demo model, and shortly there after had purchased my first Pleo. It was hell waiting that hour to get back up home. All I did was stare and pet, and take pictures of an inanimate 'toy' until I got home. Then for the painstaking hours I waited. I swear that was the longest three hours ever!! Then Dallas 1 was born. Love at first sight!

Some time in two thousand seven, I dragged out my Furbys and was wondering if Caleb Chung had either made further advances in the toy or if he was inventing anything new. Well I found pleo then but couldn't buy one. Finally in two thousand eleven, I found pleo RB and my thirtieth birthday was coming up. Need I say more? First I joined this forum in February of last year and then Ryu came into my life. A few months later, she called a few friends. Lol!
