A friend notice this in the news, I heard it mentioned on the radio this morning too:
	http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-36385839

extract:
	The report said that the Department of Defence systems that co-ordinated
	intercontinental ballistic missiles, nuclear bombers and tanker support aircraft
	"runs on an IBM Series-1 Computer - a 1970s computing system - and uses
	eight-inch floppy disks".
