During a clean-up of the shed, I discovered my father’s handheld computer.

Unearthing a Piece of History: My Dad’s Sharp PC-7000

While tidying up the shed recently, I stumbled upon a fascinating relic from the past—my father’s portable computer, the Sharp PC-7000. I couldn’t resist capturing a moment with it, so here I am, laptop on my lap, reminiscing about its glory days.

This vintage device has been relegated to the shed, primarily due to the unwelcome company of spiders. However, when I plugged it in, it surprisingly powered up without any issues. Much to my delight, we even have floppy disks that still accompany this technological gem!

It’s intriguing to consider just how advanced the Sharp PC-7000 was during its heyday. My dad often carried it to his classes, embodying the spirit of innovation of its time. This discovery has not only sparked nostalgia but has also given me a glimpse into the evolution of technology. What once was cutting-edge is now a charming reminder of the past.

Stay tuned as I explore what else might be hidden in the depths of our shed, waiting to tell its story!
