Oh the systems I worked on were from the 60s, still in operation in the late 80s, still in operation when I departed the location.

It's crazy how old storage mediums were treated, both as a medium and as a standard. I suppose the 'if it aint broke dont fix it' mantra was written in stone.
I heard that the Nasa tapes from the moon landing SSTV tapes were basically erased in the 80s so they could be re-used and only announced in 2009.
