U.S. using floppy disks to run nuclear program

In the 1980's we unlocked tactical warheads with tube technology "computers" That damn portable box weighed around 40 pounds. It hooked up to vehicle power.

CPT Aaron Kletzing - Captain; What could be more secure than using technology that no one else is using?

[ASIDE - There are a few firms that are making a nice income out of the fact that they purchased equipment/software when it was becoming obsolete and have maintained it is fully operational condition. It seems that they are the only people who can actually access much of the information that was originally created/stored using that equipment/software and convert it into a form that is currently usable.]

I will obv admit, it's clearly primitive, certainly, however there'd been a point made on another mention of it on the site here that, paradoxically, primitive is, however incongruous freq safer, however initially laughable that might at first seem. I'll grant that it's rather like the old chestnut about using the edge of a submarine for a can opener, if you will, however , I can, nevertheless, comprehend the basic thought process behind the action, that's my sole point. Not that I wouldn't think a flash drive, CD, or DVD might be more up to date, certainly, however , from a purely sàfety standpoint, freq, in terms of isolating the hardware, I could perceive why floppy disks, while mechanically erratic, and prone to wearing out, might be deemed more suitable. The other mention referred to the use of 8 in soft floppies, not the hard shelled floppies depicted in the image here. Those, I'd agree are definitely way too primitive, lol, though it's hard to explain to kids what a rotary dial phone was, or how a vacuum time functioned, also, you know? Hope was of interest eager for any thoughts, many thanks.
