Unearthing Nostalgia: A Discovery in the Shed

During a recent organizing spree in our shed, I stumbled upon a hidden gem from the past—a portable computer belonging to my father. This vintage piece of technology is none other than the Sharp PC-7000, a marvel of its time.

I couldn’t resist capturing a snapshot of this nostalgic artifact while it rested on my lap. Despite its current residence in the shed (largely due to the spider population that seems to thrive there), it surprisingly sprang back to life when I plugged it in. To my delight, we also still possess a collection of floppy disks compatible with this classic device!

Reflecting on its history, I can truly appreciate how innovative the Sharp PC-7000 was for its era. I remember my dad often taking it along to his classes, demonstrating the forward-thinking nature of technology even back then. It’s fascinating to think about how far we’ve come in the world of computing, and yet, it’s equally captivating to hold a piece of that history in my hands.

This discovery not only rekindled fond memories of my dad but also offered a glimpse into the evolution of portable technology. It’s remarkable how these devices were once the cutting edge, paving the way for the laptops and tablets we rely on today.
