Rotel. www.rotel.com. Introduction. Decades ago, an amplifier with 80 watts per channel (they were all two-channel amplifiers in those days), was considered a big amplifier. Now, 200 watts x 7 is common. Amplifiers of much higher power are also available.
Black Barbie first hit the shelves in 1980 â but with white features shared by many of the dolls following her. Todayâs launch prompted many black women to praise Mattel for its efforts.
No one thought a plastic doll with an adult figure body would be such a success. Selling at a rate of two dolls per minute, Barbie has become one of the top selling toys every year since its creation in 1959. Up until Barbie came around, dolls were made with a childlike image. The mastermind behind the creation of this superstar doll is Ruth Handler, wife of Mattel s co-founder, Elliot Handler.
