There are still aircraft out there which use the 1.44mb floppy disc to update the FMS database. FMS computing speed is often less than stellar, with even simple calculations taking forever in today's terms. I sometimes need to tell younger copilots to slow down their inputs as the aircraft's processing power can't keep up with the iPhone generation of new pilots.
