Exactly. And after I overcame the small urge to leave
it wrapped,
what do I find? The disks and each of the manuals are individually
wrapped as well! Arg! Now I have to fight the urge again, though
not as strong this time.
In general, it is not a good idea to leave stuff in its original wrappers
without any inspections. Often, the goodies inside will suffer from
degrading wrappings (yucky plastic, trapped moisture, etc.) and we never
know about it. Remember, the wrappings probably were designed to last
only a year or two. If you get something in the original wrapper, please
open it carefully and see whats inside! You just might save it!
