I think I just remember them being called paper fasteners...but I was
young and not very technical at the time. Were they labeled as such on
the box? I'm not trusting my memory as much as I used to, but I recall
"[something] Fasteners" when you bought a box of them.
Of course there are all these things you find in a hardware store that
aren't necessarily labeled or named...if you don't know what it's called,
you probably don't know what you're doing :-)
