Mortmere sent me another example of a '70s coffee mug in Starsky & Hutch, with a side serving of a whole lot of office supplies.
Smoking on film used to be sexy; I think handling those old phones sometimes was too (in a way mobile phones aren't, not that I've noticed).
I can tangibly remember so many of these things:
the slidey-noise of opening a file cabinet;
how it felt, dialing or punching a number into a phone (sometimes, on dial phones, if you were agitated you dialed so hard, the edge of the circle hurt your finger--not that it made the dial turn any faster);
how awkward it is to turn the calendar page over the ring-hoop;
the feel of wood pencil in your teeth (sometimes the yellow paint chipped off, if you bit it hard).

My son asked if I could spare some file folders. A group is using them to save seeds in. I gladly complied.
I relate to everything you mentioned the olden ways.
DEANNA: Those memories are a thing of the past, eh?
Makes me think about what our ancestors remembered in their bodies. Like the feel of a plough in the ground, or the sound of a streetcar....
Nostalgia overload! It's amazing how everyday office supplies from the past can evoke such vivid memories. The slide of a file cabinet, the tactile experience of dialing a phone, and even the taste of a wood pencil – these little things hold so much charm.

BERGEN: I don't know if you are an AI, but you wrote a nice comment--"Even the TASTE of a wood pencil"
--yes!
Can a chatbot taste a wood pencil?
Good luck to your furniture business.
