The Computer History Museum's 25th anniversary celebration of the Commodore 64, recorded in December 2007, with a panel including Jack Tramiel and Steve Wozniak. It recounts the machine's launch and history.
HN links it for Jack Tramiel's pricing philosophy and a memorable Tramiel and Wozniak exchange on low versus sustainable pricing.
