Unearthing Tech History: A Glimpse at the Sharp PC-7000
Recently, while tidying up the shed, I came across a fascinating piece of technology from a bygone era: my father’s Sharp PC-7000. It was a delightful surprise to find this portable computer tucked away, a relic of an age when machines like this were considered cutting-edge.
I snapped a quick photo of it resting on my lap, marveling at its compact design. Although it has been relegated to the elements of the shed—largely due to some squatter spiders—it impressively powered up the moment I connected it. To my delight, we even have a collection of floppy disks that match this vintage device!
Reflecting on its history, it’s easy to appreciate how revolutionary the PC-7000 was during its prime. My dad used to bring it along to his classes, showcasing how technology was beginning to integrate into everyday academic life. Discovering this piece of our family’s technological past not only evokes nostalgia but also serves as a testament to how far we’ve come in the world of computing. It’s a unique reminder of the early days of portable computing, and I look forward to exploring what else might be hiding in the depths of that shed.
