Pfffft...

Kids today, etc., etc...

In the early 80s (working on Honeywell Level 6 and DPS/6, RPG2), I used to fly out most weeks with a couple of 8 inch floppys in my hand luggage (taken out before going through the scanners, with a cover letter from the Company lawyer stating they were not to be x-rayed) with the software updates for installation and user testing for the offices in Brussels, Paris, Berlin, Frankfurt, Bochum, and last, but very definitely least, Aberdeen.

I remember when we got our first Compaq luggable (late 83 or early 84), we had to Customs and Export documentation to get it out of, and back into, the UK.
