Unearthing Vintage Tech: My Dad’s Sharp PC-7000

During a recent cleanup of our shed, I stumbled upon a fascinating piece of technology from the past—my dad’s Sharp PC-7000 portable computer. It’s remarkable how these relics from yesteryears can evoke so many memories.

The PC-7000, with its sleek design, once represented the pinnacle of innovation. I managed to snap a quick photo of this vintage gem resting on my lap, even though it is usually kept in the shed to avoid unwelcome guests like spiders. To my surprise, it sprang to life as soon as I plugged it in, and I found that we still have floppy disks to use with it!

In its heyday, my dad took this portable wonder to his classes, showcasing the cutting-edge technology of that era. It’s incredible to think about how far we’ve come since then, but holding this piece of history in my hands reminds me of the excitement that technology can bring. Exploring the past through gadgets like the Sharp PC-7000 sheds light on our roots and the incredible journey of technological advancement.
