whatever happened to...

Doing some cleaning in my old room at my parents' house, I found a Trapper Keeper. I haven't seen one of those since... well, middle school. Why would they stop making something so useful?

If this webpage is legitimate, it looks like they're making them again:

We all moved on to laptops.

Trapper keepers reflect my entire life.

8th grade, new trappper keeper, school clothes, shoes. By end of day one have scuffed the shoes, been laughed at for not being in style, and the trapper keeper busted with papers everywhere. (sigh) Maybe 9th grade will be better.

I'm flashing back...

Ok, enough. I hated school and childhood was lousy. I embrace my modern-day laptop.

Flylady has a version she calls "office in a bag."

I had the one with the kittens!

And yet they still sell the portfolios that go in them...and they say "Trapper Keeper' on them and everything! What the hey?!

I still have a handful of them around that I use. OTOH, my son's school supplies list explicitly excludes trapper keepers.
