Boy Evan, that one caught me!
My parents gave me a Brainiac in the '50's, and I later (in the Journal of the San
Diego Computer Society, I believe) wrote a short appreciation of Berkeley and that flaky
toy. Even though it was flaky, he caught my mind.
I subscribed to C&A for many years, even when he renamed it Computers & People
(and changed it back).
He died in 1988. His papers are in the Babbage Institute. Here's a link to the
inventory:

Anyone know when Berkeley Enterprises closed?
