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!
That's a good point. In my case I was going to open it anyway and
you'll be glad to know everything was there is in fantastic shape. I
didn't have time last night to do more than open it up and start
looking through the manuals. Hope to have time tonight to install it
and fire it up.
