Unearthing a Piece of History: The Sharp PC-7000

During a recent organization project in my shed, I stumbled upon a fascinating relic from the past: my father’s portable computer, the Sharp PC-7000. This little piece of technology caught me by surprise, not just for its nostalgic value, but for its remarkable design for its era.

I managed to capture a quick snapshot of the device resting on my lap, which I’ve included here. Due to its age, the PC has been residing in the shed—I think we can all agree that spiders prefer to claim their territory in corners like these! However, I was pleasantly surprised to find that, when plugged in, the machine powered up without a hitch.

What truly struck me is how innovative the Sharp PC-7000 must have seemed in its time. My father once took this gadget to his classes, making it a vital tool for his studies. It’s incredible to reflect on how far technology has come since then, yet this vintage computer stands as a testament to the ingenuity of its creators.

What other forgotten treasures are tucked away in our homes? It’s amazing what we can rediscover if we only take the time to look.
