Hello,
I have in my posession a Video Brain home Computer, It is in mint
condition, however I cannot find anything on the internet about it.
I see listings on some of the collectors web sites but no pictires or
even anyone that has one in their posession.
Can you help me find information on this apperently rare home computer.
Thank you for your input..
