I need an exact start date for the new program so I can stay my butt on the ground for a few months.

The good thing about floppies is they’re self contained and not hooked up to the interwebs

The fact that they didn’t want to have to spend the money to bring things current and are still using floppy discs in 2026 is so pathetic.
