I think Yogi wins this. Vacuum tubes beat tape drives
and giant floppy disks. Hands down.

Yogi - maybe you can expand on this story sometime, and tell us what industry you worked in, how big the computer
actually was, etc.

I was a Computer Science major myself, but only got as
far back as punch cards on an old Honeywell mainframe (kept around so the new CS students could see how it was done back in the day...)

You even predate me. Which takes some doing.

But sometimes from your posts I suspect that you're still doing your thinking with a vacuum tube brain. <g>
