God, flashbacks to having to copy files to and from 3.5 floppies to get them on secure nodes on the military comm system I was fixing.
When I first started we had a system to get documents onto a secure network and it was the most batshit insane system ever invented by anyone.
You would print the document off, take a photograph of it with the world's oldest digital camera, It took 3 and 1/4 in floppy disks, then transfer that floppy disk onto a secure network. Run an OCR program on the system to get the text back into a searchable format.
I have absolutely no idea why this was the method, but every time I questioned it I just got told that's the way it is.
