There are times when people use old tech for various reasons. Some may make a little sense, but others are bizarre. In New Jersey, apparently those who are incarcerated, are limited to the expanse of 20 floppy disks. You’ve likely seen or worked with these things, but most have abandoned their usage because of things like USB flash drives.In this case, there’s an idea that somehow they could be abused behind the prison walls.So lawyers must copy files to flash, go to a specific PC, copy to floppy disks at a crazy slow speed, give them to the inmate, and then all back through the same process. Surely there must be some better, faster, more efficient way to deal with one’s attorney than this.
