For all of us old enough to remember having these in the house, I'm sure y'all also probably remember having to do formal papers by typewriter (using white out when you made an error on the paper)
Or having to use a word processor and the big, noisy printers which the perforated paper, too, before the desktop computers and LaserJet printers came out.
Either that or putting a sheet of lined paper under some blank white paper and writing out the whole report in pen and in cursive script...
OP, you just took me back something serious lol!
