What the hell? FAA to retire floppy disks and Windows 95 amid air traffic control overhaul – Ars Technica
Also notes that San Francisco is still using DOS and floppy disks to run their train system!
I did a senior thesis project on automation in Air Traffic Control – in about 1980! Not one thing has changed regarding the out of date, out of touch management and use of old technology. (My professor on that project, Prof Rob Kling, asked if he could keep that paper – I said yes. Many years later I got in touch with him and he still remembered my paper!)
