Unearthing Nostalgia: Rediscovering My Dad’s Sharp PC-7000
Recently, as I was organizing my shed, I stumbled upon a hidden gem from the past: my dad’s portable computer, the Sharp PC-7000. This remarkable device, which now feels like a relic of a bygone era, immediately piqued my curiosity.
I snapped a quick photo of it resting on my lap, a small reminder of its once-revolutionary status. Unfortunately, the PC doesn’t have a permanent home indoors, as it seems spiders have claimed it as their territory. However, I was pleasantly surprised to find that it powered up without a hitch when I plugged it in.
What’s particularly fascinating is that we still possess floppy disks that correspond to this vintage computer. It’s incredible to imagine how cutting-edge this technology must have been during its heyday. I can picture my dad carrying it to his classes, a true pioneer of portable computing.
This unexpected find not only evokes nostalgia but also serves as a reminder of how far technology has come. It’s amazing to reflect on how devices that were once considered state-of-the-art now sit quietly in sheds, overshadowed by the high-tech gadgets of today. Rediscovering the Sharp PC-7000 has sparked a renewed appreciation for the innovations of the past and the memories they hold.
