The US nuclear launch system used floppy discs until twenty nineteen.
Now at the time hear me out, the Air Force
colonel said, it's the Air Force's oldest IT system. But

it's the age that provides the security. You can't hack
something that doesn't have an IP address.

Speaker 1 (01:14):
It's a unique system. It's old and it's very good.

Speaker 3 (01:17):

Speaker 1 (02:18):
Finally, amethyst, Why did you pick these? You can't pronounce me, I.

Speaker 3 (02:25):
Don't know, amethyst, amethist. Amethyst got its name from an
ancient Greek phrase for not drunk. That's what amethyst means.
There was a belief back then that if you put
those amethyst stones in your alcohol, it would keep you

(02:48):
from getting too drunk.
