How can they get anything done? 1.44MB is very little nowadays. Imagine having to split up a word document into dozens of floppy disks.

What would they use Word for? This is about submitting data made with standard programs in tiny files.
The real crime is that they’re not switching to online. Using optical discs is going to be even more ridiculous for those tiny files.

At least the floppy fits in a standard envelope ( as long ad we’re talking about the 3.5" )
