These days I can buy 30 different card stock papers (or plastics) already perfed for separation, but when 'Rockford' came out, you had to cut your own with a paper cutter!
Paul, give us a question!

Ah - I must be remembering him setting the type in the fornt seat of his car, and had forgotten the trip to the trunk to do the actual printing.
The Rockford Files was shown on British television in the 1970s.
A question. Hmm...
