the country’s inner workings are far behind other well established countries, with some government agencies still heavily relying on fax machines to carry on with daily work.
I once heard that was mainly because older people would rather fax hand-written script than use a computer for it, not sure.

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)

It would sure make for no-BS documents.
