Even more exciting is the fact that we still have some floppy disks compatible with it!
Reflecting on its significance, it’s easy to understand why the Sharp PC-7000 was considered cutting-edge during its heyday. My father relied on this trusty device in his classes, showcasing how far we’ve come in technology since then. This remarkable find not only connects me to my dad’s past but also serves as a reminder of the rapid advancements in portable computing.
As I delve deeper into the history of the PC-7000 and its place in tech evolution, I can’t help but appreciate the legacy it represents. It’s amazing how even an old computer can evoke such strong memories and ignite curiosity about the technological journey we’ve all had.
