Ever see one of those black computers from Hell and

They _were_ an Apple - not a clone, but rebadged and with a few
important mods (mentioned here by others with the RCA jacks and the
power cord).
The importance was there was often no budget for computer, but if you
could order something from the B&H catalog, there *was* an A/V budget.
Paperwork. It wasn't so much the "trust" in the B&H name, but the
fact that you could use a P.O. and fill in your A/V accounting code
and... *poof* a _computer_ shows up. Made it possible where other
avenues were impossible.
