At my local theatre, our light control board (an ETC Express 48/96 4110A1004) uses floppies as its only form of backing up information about the current show, other than using a very old print device, about twenty pages, and half an hour. Levels, cues, submasters, effects, profiles, the patch, etc. We generally use two backup disks, alternating between the two every time a backup is needed. As one of the two is usually archived away, a supply of additional disks is needed. Luckily, I discovered around 30 disks in old boxes in my closet last week, enough to last another 5 years.
Convincing 2/3 of Californians to strike the equal protection clause
Actually, the 2/3 vote comes from the state legislature, not the citizens. Once 2/3 of the legislature approve the revision, it is then placed on the ballot, where a simple majority vote is needed.
Unless I completely missed something.
