Uncovering a Piece of History: The Sharp PC-7000

During a recent clean-out of our shed, I stumbled upon a remarkable relic from the past: my father’s portable computer, the Sharp PC-7000. This vintage device holds a special place in the history of technology, and it was exciting to reconnect with it after all these years.

The PC-7000 has been sitting quietly in the shed, a little dusty and webbed with the occasional spider. However, despite its age, I was pleasantly surprised to find that it powered up smoothly when I plugged it in. I even took a quick snapshot of it resting on my lap—a moment that felt just a bit surreal.

I couldn’t help but reflect on the era when this machine was considered cutting-edge. My dad used it while attending classes, showcasing the ambitions of technology in education. It’s intriguing to think about how far we’ve come since then, yet it’s also impressive to see that we still have the original floppy disks that accompanied this vintage computer.

Discovering the Sharp PC-7000 was not just a trip down memory lane; it was a reminder of the rapid evolution of technology and the cherished memories associated with it. As I clean and preserve this piece of history, I can’t wait to explore more about its legacy and the innovative spirit of the time. Stay tuned for more updates on my journey with this vintage tech treasure!
