    Some of this "previous" technology is so old as to be effective hardware encryption. Should a burglar even think to steal them, who will have an 8" floppy drive to retrieve your bank information? Similarly, how many companies could loose hundreds of thousands of credit card numbers in a single hack if modems were only 300 baud? Hmmm... perhaps I will move my sensitive information onto 8 Track tapes! Anybody still have a ZIP drive for sale cheap?

    A quick Google informs me both ZIP drives and 8" floppies are still available! "All things old are new again", wow... Next, I suspect I'll hear that nixie tubes are still in use.
