Relay #70. -teD Original Message From: John Ehrman Sent: Friday, March 18, 2016 00:17 To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU Reply To: IBM Mainframe Discussion List Subject: Re: Grace didn't coin the term "bug"?
The association of bugs with computers may go back to the Mark I (I think it was) relay computer at Harvard. An error was traced to a moth between two relay contacts. In the Computer History Museum in Mountain View CA there's a copy of the logbook page with the moth pasted in place. The display is near other early computers like the Atanasoff=Berry machine, the Johnniac, a German Enigma and examples of Konrad Zuse's work. If you're in Silicon Valley, I urge you to visit; more info at computerhistory.org . Regards...
