But are you claiming it’s hardened to survive as well as the older equipment?

Ozark Tom, it might be helpful just to take a quick look at the post I was responding to (post #26 by FReeper "Lazamataz"), in which he injected some humor into this discussion about the military's use of an outdated technology.

Then, in my response to him in my post #44, I tried to reply in kind to him with what I considered a humorous reply, showing him a way to "out-boast" the military by pointing out to them the areas where his 1-inch thumb drive is superior to the military's 8-inch floppies.

I guess my attempt at humor there was not a successful one (as shown by the two responses I got in reply to my post #44), but hopefully this post should clear up the question you asked about exactly what I was actually trying to claim in my post 44.
