The subject of the email he sent was "WHO THE FUCK STILL USES TAPE!"
This guy is no computer whiz but even he knows that the rest of the world has moved on.
Show me a technology for reliable intermediate-term storage of high-volume archival data that isn't tape, which can come close to being as economical.
Tape is still widely used.
