I can’t remember buying floppies.

I don’t use the 3.5 disks now and my Windows laptop keeps my desk from floating away.

Good luck hacking a floppy sitting in a safe 80 feet underground. On the other hand, all magnetic media store on plastic will degrade.

CDs are the future!

The sarcasm about the old system is largely unwarranted. The SACCS was used uniformly with all SAC assets, airplanes and missiles. It worked.

I did maintenance on the Minuteman III for 8 years in the 70's and 80's and it was the same system. It was solid and SIMPLE. It was not tied to the internet in any way, couldn't be hacked, was survivable in an EMP environment and had good checks and balances with human interfaces. The only real reason to leave it behind is that it is impossible to get 5 1/4 in disks anymore.

Yeah, Baby! I have a few of those floating around. Kids freak out when I show them.

They have replaced the 8” floppies with 5.25” floppies

You can’t hack something that doesn’t have an IP address.

He's got a point there.

OMG they were still using floppy discs, REALLY, LOL, LOL, LOL,

Untold story: during the Clinton administration, he wanted to nuke a country to distract from Monica. Fortunately, when they stuck in his floppy, all it had on it was Leisure Suit Larry.
