Well, if you can't access the web, here's the info about the video...

In mid-June, 1996, the GravenStein Apple User Group hosted a
demonstration of the Mark Twain IIGS (aka, the ROM4) prototype
computer. The event was captured on videotape, and that 96 minute VHS
video is now available _only_ from the GravenStein Apple User Group.
It's available in both NTSC and PAL format.

The video is hosted by Joe Kohn, the Vice President of GravenStein
and the Publisher of Shareware Solutions II.

Since the video is about a computer that doesn't officially exist, it
seemed appropriate at the time to use that non-existant computer to
show off some non-existant IIGS software...such as Brutal Deluxe's
System 6.0.2 and Wolfenstein 3-D.

System 6.0.2 was supplied by Brutal Deluxe and Wolf 3-D was supplied
by the author of the program. The Wolf 3-D Easter Eggs, of course,
were supplied by Burger Bill Heineman. The Mark Twain was supplied by
Joe Kohn. Heckling was supplied by The Lovely Shiva ;-)

In many ways, the video parallels the article about the Mark Twain
that appeared in Shareware Solutions II. Actually, I think you can
say that the article served as an informal script for the video.

GravenStein Apple User Group is a large Northern California user
group, and all proceeds from the sales of the video will benefit
GravenStein's ailing treasury.

The tape is available for $20 if sent to a US address, or $25 for
international orders.

Please specify if you want the video in NTSC (US) or PAL (European)
format.
