I remember when there was no white out, you had those little white sheets you had to back up the typewriter and type over this white paper the same letter that was a mistake to blot it out.
I remember when there was only a rough eraser (white or grey, not pink) used to erase typing mistakes, and it removed a decent share of the paper's surface as well.

A lot of these answers are really frivolous, including some of mine.

Being "so old" is getting up in the morning, going into the bathroom and not quite remembering the name of that handsome rogue in the mirror.
