Unearthing the Past: Rediscovering My Dad’s Sharp PC-7000
During a recent tidying session in the shed, I stumbled upon a fascinating piece of technology from the past—my father’s Sharp PC-7000 portable computer. This little relic has a storied history and a significant sentimental value for our family.
As I sat with the device on my lap, I couldn’t help but appreciate its unique design and vintage charm. While it currently resides in the shed—where it’s less likely to attract unwelcome spiders—I was pleasantly surprised that it powered on effortlessly when I plugged it in. It appears that our family still possesses a collection of floppy disks compatible with this gem!
The Sharp PC-7000 was quite the marvel in its day, and it’s easy to see why. My dad used to take it to his classes, showcasing the cutting-edge technology of that era. Holding it now, I’m reminded of the ingenuity and aspirations of the time, and it serves as a nostalgic bridge to the past.
It’s incredible to think about how far we’ve come since then, yet this little machine encapsulates a part of my father’s journey and the evolution of personal computing. As we continue to explore our history, I look forward to sharing more stories from the attic and shed that capture the essence of bygone eras.
