The computer exhibition in Berlin’s Museum of Technology begins with a piece of my own childhood: this is a golden Commodore 64 built in 1986 celebrating the one millionth C64 sold in Germany! It is displayed with a box of floppy disks and two of the popular Competition Pro joysticks, but for some reason there’s no floppy drive. I still own several working C64, but I had never actually seen one of the golden ones, which are very valuable today.
