Unboxing a 1984 Epson PX-8 portable computer - RETRO!

Back in 2010, I made an unboxing video for a recently purchased Epson PX-8 computer.  What was neat about this computer was its size.  Other portable computers of the time were... huge.  Just 3 years earlier, the Osborne 1 weighed close to 25 pounds and was the size of a large luggage bag!  This was due to having a CRT monitor and full-size disk drive.   The PX-8 used interchangeable ROM chips for software and an LCD screen for a monitor which brought down the size & weight.  Well, let's see what it's like to open an old computer package for (almost) the first time.
