Back in the olden days, we didn't have no fancy internet to look up information. So I would go to the "library" and look through magazines and newspapers for information about Knight Rider. Periodicals were released on "microfiche" a couple weeks after publication - it was basically a plastic postcard with microfilm images printed on it. The images were often inverted (text became white on black). I would scan through the cards, then pay maybe a nickel or a dime to be able to print a page. The printouts came out on special thermal paper.
Here's an original microfiche printout I still have from 1982, and the modern digitally-inverted version:
