Hi everybody.
I've rescued a Bell & Howell Apple IIe (black, of course) just yesterday.
Can anyone tell me anything about what these things were used for, what I can expect to
find in the machine, etc, etc?
I haven't even cleaned off the dust yet, but I vaguely recall that these were sold
for
some specific purpose. If so, what were they for?
To be able to get past the purchasing departments of school districts, who
didn't want to buy COMPUTERS (the district already has one), and certainly
wouldn't buy something like that from a company named after a fruit.
But add it into a LONG list of projectors, and other AV stuff, and it
would slide right through.
