Obsolete...

Have you ever seen something so obsolete that you can only facepalm?

Well, I have had this problem for a test here in CAPSIC, the 16-fp (16 personality factors), the test isn't obsolete, but to evaluate this test I have to use a program that was included in the package that included the test manual of application, the answer sheets, and other things. This is a 2007 version of the test, and the only way to evaluate it is with a software... included in a floppy disk.

Can you believe it? A floppy disk... in 2011 from a software from 2007, seriously, how can this be? I haven't used floppy's since 2001 (I used rw-cd's), they are unreliable and easy to break, we tried copying the content from the floppy to a usb, but unfortunately the floppy serves as a security measure, so we can't use it. I looked for a floppy in my house, and I couldn't find any, I have like 10 or more computers in my house (most of them no longer work I think) and none of it had a floppy drive and now I need to find a computer that has one or forget about this test.
