On CD-ROM?
- forgingahead 6y agoThis was the result of a 25-year multi-team feasibility study about upgrading from the previous medium: floppy disks.
- techdragon 6y agoI honestly can't tell if this is sarcasm or legitimate... having worked in government IT before this sounds sadly plausible.
- toast0 6y agoThe CIA stopped responding to FOIA with zip disks ages ago.[1] I would expect a hundred megs or so of pdfs/scanned documents to be on a CD-R though; much less expensive than per page copy fees. Can't tell if the disc in question is actually pressed or a writable disc; the label is offset a bit, but not enough for me to get a good idea of the underlying color. [1] For removal of doubt, I just made that up.
