Supercomputers, fishing for information

3 Apr 2017

...
   I'm
probably showing my age (again), but "QIC" and "Supercomputers" just
 seems to be about as related as "Chateau Margaux" and "Cheez Whiz".

 If one is spending millions on a supercomputer, why would anyone want to
 put software for it on a QIC cart?  
 Because it holds more than an Exatron Stringy Floppy?  (the obvious second 
 choice for high reliability storage) 
Stringyfloppy shmingyfloppy. You need one of the unobtanium (with good reason)
Texas Instruments CC-40 wafertape disasters, the obvious third choice for
high reliability storage.

I'm almost afraid to see if the one Jim Battle sent me a long time ago still
works.
