Only ten years? :)

I should start a separate thread on Gaffer's tape, but I'll risk comments 
here - I haven't found any that was the same as the stuff we used in the 
early Seventies. This is not a case of selective memory. The original
stuff 
could be folded over on itself into a small square and stuck in the pocket

for odd emergencies outside of work. It unfolded nicely without leaving 
residue in itself and would work again.

At work they order some kind of no-name Gaffers equivalent but it is not 
even close. I have just a bit left of my last roll of Bogen's equivalent
and 
it does not have the same release adhesive.

It's the end of an era, I tell ya. Today I get funny looks from
photography 
students if I mention Gaffer's. It's like they are thinking Cut, Paste and

Lock Layer is the same.

So, can you recommend a replacement for Bogen's? I suppose it's Manfrotto 
now.
