How much does it cost for a "product
placement"?
Might there be a studio POLICY that NO product name goes unmangled until
fees are paid?
OR
If they used a REAL name, then geeks would write in griping about
inaccuracies of model number, etc. If they HAD said Altair, and used a
homemade mockup, instead of a real one, then they would become the subject
of lots of email on lists like this.
Therefore, what they had probably WAS a Nortair. The only Nortair to ever
exist.
I ?ove your explanation Fred.
