Oh my god, Is this real? This totally destroys my confidence in high tech security keeping us safe. Anyone remember how little it took for these floppies to fail? This is something I would have kept a secret, little Kim is probably more up to date than this. lol

“Lt. Col. Jason Rossi told c4isrnet.com that it has retired the floppy disks used on its dated 1970s computer with a highly-secure solid-state digital storage solution.”
Sounds like some millennial convinced them to use the Internet (along with GPS) for our national defense.

Are you frickin’ kidding me??? Floppy disks???? In 2019????

And the leftists want us to believe that the government is going to give us the latest and greatest medical care. Why do I have visions of biting down on a stick while some butcher operates on me with dirty instruments and then flushes out the wound with moonshine?

I still have some in the 5 1/2” range in a box in the basement from when I learned to program during a morning class in HS during the early 80s. Apple basic was the language.
It was a good class to take, but not really my thing.
Had a number of guys running around with punch cards in college - luckily I never had to deal with those - except to fill out my class schedule. Plenty of the 3 1/4 discs in the basement as well.
Doubt any of it is any good anymore - not sure why I’ve held onto them. Wonder if they would be considered “collectible”....
