The First Computer Bug
According to the US Navy, today is the 58th anniversary of the first computer bug. Their web site says:
"Moth found trapped between points at Relay # 70, Panel F, of the Mark II Aiken Relay Calculator while it was being tested at Harvard University, 9 September 1945. The operators affixed the moth to the computer log, with the entry: 'First actual case of bug being found'. They put out the word that they had 'debugged' the machine, thus introducing the term 'debugging a computer program'. In 1988, the log, with the moth still taped by the entry, was in the Naval Surface Warfare Center Computer Museum at Dahlgren, Virginia."
