Personally, I’m not much into unboxing unless I’m the one doing the honors, but a modern day unboxing of a 25 year old Atari CX77 Touch Tablet is like opening up a time capsule.

This marvel of 8-bit technology could hook up into your Atari home computer and digitally manipulate shapes and lines with the Atari paint software—an early precursor to the tablets we enjoy today. It was actually a pretty impressive piece of equipment back in the day, and the cool thing is that it looks brand new out of the box. It even fired up without a hitch. Check out Technologizer for the complete set of images. [Technologizer]
