Uncovering a Piece of Tech History: The Sharp PC-7000
While organizing the shed recently, I stumbled upon a fascinating relic from the past: my father’s Sharp PC-7000 portable computer.
Although I only snapped one photograph of it perched on my lap, it was enough to spark a wave of nostalgia. Due to its age, the computer typically resides in the shed—largely to avoid any eight-legged visitors! However, I was pleasantly surprised when I plugged it in and found that it powered on without any issues. To my delight, we still have floppy disks that go with it, too!
Reflecting on this discovery, I can truly appreciate how groundbreaking the PC-7000 was during its prime. My father once took it to classes, showcasing its innovative design and capabilities for that era. It’s remarkable to think how far technology has come since then, yet finding this portable computer serves as a wonderful reminder of how much we’ve evolved.
Exploring this piece of history not only brings back personal memories but also highlights the enduring charm of vintage technology. If you have an old gadget tucked away, I encourage you to dust it off and see what stories it might have to tell!
