DU help please: 2 questions as per Barr's crap fest.

[Botany]

1) How many DUers still have a machine that reads floppy disks?

b) If Trump's campaign had no interactions with Russians who wanted to interfere with
our elections then why did they have a computer server in the campaign HQs that was linked
to Alfa Bank in the Ukraine and that Alfa Bank also had links to Putin, the GRU, and Wikileaks?

Examining records for the Trump domain, Max’s group discovered D.N.S. lookups from a pair of servers owned by Alfa Bank, one of the largest banks in Russia. Alfa Bank’s computers were looking up the address of the Trump server nearly every day. There were dozens of lookups on some days and far fewer on others, but the total number was notable: between May and September, Alfa Bank looked up the Trump Organization’s domain more than two thousand times. “We were watching this happen in real time—it was like watching an airplane fly by,” Max said. “And we thought, Why the hell is a Russian bank communicating with a server that belongs to the Trump Organization, and at such a rate?”

2. I can still read 8" floppies

The Mueller report is on CD, not floppies. Nevertheless, I have systems that can read most anything from paper tape on.
