Unearthing Tech History: Discovering My Dad’s Sharp PC-7000
While tidying up the shed recently, I stumbled upon a remarkable piece of my dad’s past—a Sharp PC-7000, a portable computer that holds a wealth of nostalgia. I couldn’t resist snapping a quick photo of it resting on my lap, even if it had grown accustomed to the outdoors and its unwelcome inhabitants, like spiders.
To my surprise, after plugging it in, the old machine powered on without a hitch! The fact that we still have floppy disks for it is a testament to its nostalgia and historical significance. This computer, once a state-of-the-art device, accompanied my dad to his classes, showcasing the blend of technology and education during its era.
The Sharp PC-7000 isn’t just a vintage piece of hardware; it’s a window into the past and a reminder of how far technology has come. Rediscovering this gem has sparked a sense of curiosity about the evolution of gadgets and the memories they carry. Who knows what other treasures lie hidden in the shed waiting to tell their story?
