Unearthing Nostalgia: Rediscovering My Dad’s Sharp PC-7000

While tidying up the shed recently, I stumbled upon a hidden gem from the past: my father’s portable computer, the Sharp PC-7000. This remarkable device, which I captured in a photo as I held it on my lap, has been resting outdoors, tucked away in the shed, primarily to avoid the company of spiders. To my delight, when I plugged it in, it came back to life, showcasing the enduring resilience of technology.

What truly amazed me was how this computer, once considered cutting-edge, has stood the test of time. My father used to take it to his classes, a testament to its portability and practicality back in the day. Remarkably, we still have some floppy disks that were once the lifeline of this vintage tech.

In a world dominated by sleek laptops and tablets, finding this piece of history opens a window into the past, evoking a sense of nostalgia and curiosity about how far we’ve come. The Sharp PC-7000 serves as a reminder of the innovation and dedication that has paved the way for the technology we use today.
