Retro Unboxing of Atari’s Touch Tablet circa 1984

Harry from Technologizer got his hands on a brand new Atari CX77 Touch Tablet that dates back to the year I first began playing with gadgets. He put together a slideshow of the unboxing and what you can do with a 25-year old tablet that pre-dates Wacom digitizers.

There are some interesting tidbits of nostalgia in the tablet unboxing, including a 5.25-inch floppy disk and a television hooked up to the CPU instead of a monitor. This brings back memories of some of my first gadgets and computers. Things were done differently in 1984 and mobility was a distant dream.
