    I remember a time when it made sense to delete trailing spaces in documents to conserve disk space. A colleague of my mother used to advise this, ~1982. I can still remember the smell of the office from when I used to visit, toner, IT equipment. It smelled exciting, professional.

      @alexanderdyas Ah office memories! Must'nt forget the cacophony of typewriters and shrill ringing phones. However, I don't miss the ever present haze of cigarette smoke.

        @MikeyU Just the thought of ashtrays on desks is bizarre now, but I saw it, I was there. And photocopied memes passed around.

          @alexanderdyas Loved the photocopied memes! I still have some filed away in a dusty box with stuff from my office desk (along with several well stained coffee mugs and an engraved letter opener goodbye gift)
