Unearthing Nostalgia: Discovering My Dad’s Sharp PC-7000
Recently, while organizing the clutter in our shed, I stumbled upon a piece of technology that instantly transported me back in time: my dad’s Sharp PC-7000 portable computer. As I picked it up, memories of his academic days flooded my mind.
This remarkable device, which I couldn’t resist taking a picture of as I held it on my lap, has been stored outside to avoid unwelcome guests like spiders. Despite its time spent in the shed, I was amazed to find that it powered on without a hitch when plugged in!
What truly adds to the charm of the Sharp PC-7000 is that we still have floppy disks compatible with it. This device was once a marvel of innovation, a testament to how far technology has come. I can easily imagine my father toting this tech wonder to his classes, a symbol of learning and progress during a different era.
Finding this relic not only sparked a wave of nostalgia, but it also gave me a glimpse into how technology has evolved over the decades. It serves as a reminder of the personal history we often forget in our fast-paced digital world.
