It would sure make for no-BS documents.

It sure took them a while!
I’m curious how they had to send the floppy disk. Like, go to a special place to use an old computer that could still write to floppy disks? Or create your word document/pdf, compress it as much as possible and somehow find a place to put that on a floppy?

I vaguely recall reading something about some of their departments were not even using the floppy. Like you had to submit with a floppy, but it was never actually written or read from, and you supplied the documents another way. (I could have entirely made this up, don’t quote me)
