Unearthing Tech History: The Sharp PC-7000
Recently, while organizing my shed, I stumbled upon an intriguing piece of technology from the past—my father’s portable computer, the Sharp PC-7000. It immediately sparked a wave of nostalgia as I remembered the stories he shared about using it during his college days.
The Sharp PC-7000 is a fascinating relic that has found its home outside, largely due to the unwelcome company of spiders. Despite this, I was pleasantly surprised to see that it powered up immediately when I plugged it in, a testament to its durable design.
I couldn’t resist capturing a photograph of it resting on my lap, a brief moment that connected me to a bygone era. To my delight, we still have floppy disks compatible with the device, which adds to its charm and potential for exploration.
It’s remarkable to think how this once cutting-edge technology was deemed innovative at the time, allowing my dad to take notes and complete assignments on the go. The Sharp PC-7000 is more than just a computer; it represents a slice of history and a personal connection to my father’s academic journey. As I gaze at it now, I can appreciate the evolution of technology and the memories embedded within this vintage device.
