Unearthing a Classic: Discovering My Dad’s Sharp PC-7000
While tackling the clutter in our shed, I stumbled upon a hidden gem from the past—a Sharp PC-7000, my dad’s portable computer. The experience of finding this vintage tech was both nostalgic and fascinating.
As I carefully dusted it off, I couldn’t help but snap a photo of it resting on my lap, a reminder of the innovation that once defined it. Although it typically resides in the shed—mostly to avoid unwanted spider guests—I was pleasantly surprised to see that it powered up when plugged in. It’s incredible to think that we still have floppy disks compatible with it, connecting us to its history.
Looking back, it’s clear why the Sharp PC-7000 was considered cutting-edge technology in its heyday. My dad frequently used it for his classes, showcasing how it seamlessly blended portability with functionality at the time. This little piece of history not only sparks memories of my father’s academic pursuits but also highlights the evolution of computing technology over the years.
As I prepare to preserve this artifact, I can’t help but wonder what other treasures lie hidden away, waiting to tell their stories. The journey through nostalgia is always an interesting one, reminding us that even the simplest of items can hold cherished memories and reflections of the past.
