As we know, TV sets have been a very common display solution.

So, last week I opened a german newspaper to read about an
exhibition of ingenious technology usage in East Germany (DDR),
back in the good old times behind the wall - when creative
usage did overcome technology and material shortages - beside
some arguable display like the M1000 sports car, a DDR home
computer with TV set is on display, as a proof how unusual
ways they took ...... can people forget that fast ?
Isn't the C64 still (somewhat) around ? Where did these
museum people live in the past 20 years ? some south sea
island ? the moon ? or beyond ?
