7. Look at NASA

The Space Shuttle ran off ancient hardened 386 hardware and, towards the end, replacement parts were almost impossible to find and extremely expensive.

But then, why not upgrade? Because you really don't want to find out that there's a hardware/software interfacing glitch during re-entry, that's why. So at least that one makes some sense.

Similarly, I can certainly argue that if the hardware/software for the nuclear arsenal is fully debugged and works...well, maybe we don't want to upgrade it without some very good reasons to do so.

Printing stuff out and boxing it, though...that's insane.
