I like this, but so many formats are missing…
Stone tablets, papyrus, scrolls, books, clay cylinders, wax records, vinyl records, punch cards, punch tape, audio cassettes, data cassettes, Betamax, VHS, laserdisc, CD (ROM, RAM, R, RW, RW+), DVD, HD DVD, Blu Ray, MiniDiscs, ZIP Disks… And their close relatives.
And those are just the ‘removable’ storage formats off the top of my head. Don’t even let me get into variations on hard drives and other ‘permanent’ storage.
Say, does anyone else remember MiniDiscs? The walkman killers? Hahaha…

If this facility is so secret that the name cannot even be seen by the public, then why in the world would the Obama administration allow filmmakers to tour it?
The administration has shared with the filmmakers information defended from Freedom of Information Act inquiries, Congressional committees, and anyone else not involved in making movies about war zones.
Wait wait wait… What?
The part that gets me the most: “…this facility is so secret that the name cannot even be seen by the public…”. Ah, so there’s a facility, is there? And the public doesn’t even get to see the name of it? …is it called Voldemort? Or is the name just a dead giveaway like, “SEAL camp 6 - 2 miles east of Pascagoula”?
I’m gonna make a film. (Colbert impression) National secrets please!
