Legacy Data is traditional and values the wisdom of the past. He’s the go-to for office lore and frequently reminisces about ‘the early days’. His fax number is still operational and his office shelves are filled with paper files, plus a floppy disk or two (or twenty). Find him by the water cooler solving a Rubik’s cube or recollecting on how things used to be done. Just don’t ask him to download your pdf or move to the cloud.
