Mindovermaster Moderator Posted September 9, 2023 Moderator Share Posted September 9, 2023 (edited) Quote In 1947, a team of engineers working on the Mark II Aiken Relay Calculator at Harvard University had a problem in one of the circuits of the long glass-enclosed computer. A member of the programming team, Grace Hopper, recorded the story in her log book: “It was over in another building, and the windows had no screens on them and we were working on it at night, of course, and all the bugs in the world came in. And one night she (Mark II) conked out and we went to look for the bug and found an actual large moth, about four inches in wing span, in one of the relays beaten to death, and we took it out and put it in the log book and pasted Scotch tape over it.” Source: https://www.edn.com/1st-actual-computer-bug-found-september-9-1947/ 76 years? wow.. andy_3_913, He's Dead Jim and Sulphy 3 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really, we should be using the term moth instead of bug. "This new program is really mothy".
