Unearthing Nostalgia: Rediscovering My Dad’s Sharp PC-7000
During a recent clean-up of the shed, I stumbled upon a piece of history that instantly transported me back in time: my father’s portable computer, the Sharp PC-7000. It’s fascinating how certain discoveries can evoke a rush of memories, and this was one of those moments.
Upon finding the old device, I snapped a picture of it resting on my lap, a symbolic connection to its past. It may sit outdoors most of the time—safeguarded from curious spiders—but to my surprise, it sprang to life when plugged in, proving that this vintage tech still holds power even after all these years.
The Sharp PC-7000 was once the cutting-edge tool of its era, and I can easily understand why my dad relied on it during his classes. It’s remarkable to think about how this portable computer was at the forefront of technology back in the day. Fortunately, we still have some floppy disks that accompany this classic, hinting at the trove of data and memories held within.
Rediscovering this relic of my father’s tech journey has inspired me to explore its legacy further. It serves as a reminder of how far we’ve come and the enduring value of the tools that have shaped our lives. This find isn’t just about the device itself—it’s about reconnecting with the past and appreciating the innovation that continues to inspire us today.
