Unearthing Retro Tech: Discovering My Dad’s Sharp PC-7000

While tackling a cleaning project in the shed, I stumbled upon a remarkable piece of technology from the past: my father’s Sharp PC-7000 portable computer.

I couldn’t resist capturing a quick photo of it resting on my lap, as it’s not every day that you come across a vintage device like this! Despite its home being the shed—far from the best environment due to a few uninvited spider guests—this relic surprisingly powered on when plugged in, which is quite impressive given its age.

What’s even more fascinating is that we still have some floppy disks for it! It’s amazing to think about how cutting-edge this computer was during its heyday. My dad even took it to classes with him, highlighting its significance as a technological companion of the time.

Rediscovering this portable computer offers a nostalgic glimpse into the past and a reminder of how far we’ve come in the world of technology. It’s a joyful find that ignites memories of innovation and the early days of personal computing!
