Bug was a term used by engineers long before Grace Hopper arrived on the scene. As quoted:

In her machine's log book, I quote: "9/9 1100 Started Cosine Tape (Sine check) 1525 Started Multi Adder Test. 1545 [ moth taped on paper ] Relay *70 Panel F. (moth) in relay. First actual case of bug being found." <end quote> In Year 1945, they were working on a Mark II machine. Machine failed, and it appeared a moth flew on a relay and getting beaten to death. They removed it with a tweezer and used scotch tape to put it on the log book. Just Google: "Bug Grace Hopper" and then select Images. Have a buggin fun. ;-) Groete / Greetings Elardus Engelbrecht ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
