Re: Bell & Howell questions

[Donald Lee <coach41@pacbell.net>]

I remember back in the day.....mid 80's when I was in grammar school. 
One of my teachers took our whole class of 5th graders to her house. 
She had one of those black Apple II+ computers.  I remember thinking
back then it was sort of unusual since our school labs had the beige II+
and IIe's around.  

I wonder what my teacher did with it.....
