US military uses 8-inch floppy disks to coordinate nuclear force operations Sometimes the military uses antiquated equipment, especially software, to ensure that all the bugs and shortfalls are known and worked out. In this case, I'm wondering where they are getting their supply of 8-inch floppies.

Yeah, there are some critical systems that you can’t tolerate having “teething problems” with.

I'm wondering where they are getting their supply of 8-inch floppies. Well, I'm fairly sure that the dumpster behind my old office was emptied some years ago. :) I used to buy them from Radio Shack. We had state of the art tape back up too!

Dunno, but I have a box of them that I’d sell. Our office once had a Wang word processor that used them.
