I remember always seeing them in school staff rooms, or the teacher would actually come into the classroom with one, presumably just to flaunt that he/she thought they were intellectual, trendy and liberal. There was a lot of that going on in the 70s!
Ha!
My mum's friend had them in the '80s and I wanted to be like her when I grew up.
